Happy Birthday to DFS - 15 years old! And so we sang to one of our Jennys. No cake though.

Next week please bring your charity nominations, so we can decide who we will support during our 16th year. Our Xmas concert will be on Monday 11 Dec at St Nicholas church when we will join with the new WVA choir too. 

We had seven new songs to tackle today, so we dived into a wee warm up and began with I SAW HER STANDING THERE. Ed kept time while we had a second run through a Capella. I keep feeling excited we were doing a Fleetwood Mac song. A third run before we moved onto … 

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU but not the Mama Mia II version. Ed found a key and off we went, beautifully. Then Ed demoed the chorus harmony and some of us had jolly good go at that. Now where’s my inflatable banana? We even had a run through using the very backing track to can click on via our choir drop box. 


We sang DONT STOP with the backing track and then with the Mac themselves. Air guitar time! 

We looked at ALL OF ME before the summer break and we sang it next, with the backing track.

Next THE SKYE BOAT SONG which I sang when I was very small. Possibly the first time I learned a harmony part. 

Rick rolling went we to sing NEVER GONNA GIVE UP such fun! 

We stood to perform LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER so we could make some noise! 15 years of singing each other happy! 

Well done DFS. See you next week to raise the roof again x
