For potential concert is at upwey memorial hall on the 1st March. Pencil in only for now.
Fayre in the square on Sat 25 May, with a morning slot for us.
Easter concert dates will be in April.
We rolled up with six new songs to sing an a few lovely new faces joining us. We warmed up. It was a good warm up, the start of a good year we hope.
We tussled our way to our first song, ALL NIGHT LONG. Ed explained the first typo of the evening and we were off. After a run through we split up to sing the overlapping ‘play on’ parts.
The little known Abba song EAGLE was next up. We sang along with Abba or just listened. Don’t sing A Neagle, will you? An (air gap) Eagle is what we require! We sang it through with a backing track, after Ed told us he sang this song as a little boy. We even tried a little harmony.
Ed told a story about choosing PROUD MARY for the new term. Apparently he and Jenny thought of it at the same time. We went off with the backing track. Whoooo. We won’t be doing the dance.
Our choir master slipped behind the piano forte to play WE ALL FALL IN LOVE SOMETIMES which is an Elton John song (Cold Play covered it, did you know?) and most of us had a good listen.
Then we listened to POMPEII and just a few people sang along too. A few more joined in when we hit the backing track. Eheu!
Time to go oooooooooooo-hoooooooo and BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE. Jenny also chose this song for choir too.
For a finale we sang PROUD MARY again, standing to perform. Well done DFS a grand start to 2024. Now go home and practice! And keep smiling xxx
