So much excitement going on, and some extra sheets of music for the old flash mob. In housekeeping, it’s 11.30 at Fayre in the square. Parking is a bit of an issue round there. Wear bright tops and dark bottoms. The set will be 20 mins and Ed will follow with 20 minutes of his own. 

On Wednesday -breaking news - others of the choir may join after the elbow song, even if you can’t make the secret rehearsal. The Elbow song will be memorised. Haha. 

We warmed up, nice and fast. Because why not? And with lost of power, we did the HIIIIIII warm up, and then lead into the first note of SECRET LOVE because we have to start that all powerfully and confident of course. It’s one of those short intro songs. 

Then we sang it properly. And Ed said that it was good. 

Number two, enjoy enjoy enjoy singing WALKING ON SUNSHINE and smile. Yes you may feel there are too many words. There are. All there for your singing pleasure. You got this! 

Remember not to stare at the words we know and look up and smile at the lovely audience. 

So HALLELUJAH said Ed. Mind the gap. It’s in the wrong place if you ask me. We have to sing differently when we sing with ukuleles! Ed went over some of those timings. 

RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE has alternative lyrics that Ed invented. We may not sing those. But we might. We sang it twice. 

With a smashing new backing track, RUN.  It was pretty good. 

ONE DAY LIKE THIS was sang in two versions and followed by SOMEONE LIKE YOU just for fun. 

Have a great half term, and see you on Wednesday for the secret rehearsal for you-know-what!
