A warm up with a difference was on the cards today. But first, a sensible one. Time to play. Ed set out the rules of play. What could possibly go wrong? It was very successful.
The secret flash mob is June 22nd. Don’t tell your friends. A rehearsal will be on 29th May, during half term. Time and venue tbc, for those who can flash mob.
We flocked to the words for RUN. I still can’t really sing, one of those long term coughs. High cheek bones everyone. No slack faces DFS. So we worked on brightening the sound and then the very notes themselves, of all those delicious harmony parts. After another sing through Ed said well done.
We were WALKING ON SUNSHINE after all that. Every gap in the song is filled with words, so perhaps we could say, there are none at all! And some of the Ohs were not being given enough beats.
And HALLELUJAH we didn’t spend to long on it. This is actually a good song to play on a ukelele. We need to be careful not to put unwanted gaps in, or shorten some notes that should be longer. The second verse must be sang intensely, not all nice and lovely. Someone groaned with disappointment!
Have fun making lots of funny and fun noises at the start of RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE. But no more Michael Jackson sounds. That’s me told. We sang with Annie first then with Ed at the piano.
ONE DAY LIKE THIS is a lovely song. I love the overlaps. I think we did a good job of this. Ed said lovely stuff.
No hesitation, straight in with SECRET LOVE, disco version.
Keep singing DFS and don’t forget to vote if you haven’t yet today! Love, Cat x
