13 June 2024

It was summertime, and our coats hung dripping in the main, outside the hall. Our jumpers were on again and there was one new song to collect from the table at the back.

The flash mob looms … veterans weekend too. See last week for date and time, because it’s a secret. The extra song was to build our 45 set for the swing time. Eeek that’s a long set. 

In super exciting news, some members would like to group together to see Gareth Malone at the pavilion. Hang left and get a discount in groups of 8 plus. It’s Friday 8h November.

We warmed up. 

The new song first, I WANNA BE LIKE YOU. No expectations. I didn’t really know it! The last note was a random choice to see how it worked, for a big finish YEAH. We had another run through. Not sure about that last note though… 

Back to my teenage years now TOGETHER IN ELECTRIC DREAMS. Prepared to be exposed at the end as the music fades and we don’t! 

SUMMERTIME slipped into the room despite the rain. Such fun. Sophisticated ending too. We sang it once then were invited to sing louder. Cue everyone going a bit shy and quiet. 

We swished our pages to SECRET LOVE. Then the ukulele version of ONE DAY LIKE THIS …. So different from our usual choir version. Much less call and response. 

And the ukulele version of UPTOWN GIRL also featured Ed at the piano. And Ed saw that it was good. HALLELUJAH! Please remember to drop all your Hs and not leave any gaps. 

For a fab finale … RUN! 

Well done DFS. Keep singing and always keep smiling  X
