Ann had a spare ticket for Gareth tomorrow. Jump up if you want it.
We warmed up with WHEN A CHILD IS BORN. Ed sat at the piano, and after a run through demonstrated the gorgeous harmony which begins at verse two. It was a lot easier to get it when he played and sang the notes at the same time.
Our epic Christmas medley contains a number of raucous songs.
MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY
I WISH IT COULD BE CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY
do please leave an air gap between between WISH and IT. Think about it.
JINGLE BELL ROCK
ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
LET IT SNOW
WINTER WONDERLAND
I SAW MUMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS
SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
instrumental where we go doo dooo dooooo
MARY’S BOY CHILD
WHITE CHRISTMAS
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We ran through the whole lot, to time it. It was 12 minutes long.
With barely enough time to catch our breath, Ed pressed the backing track to MARY DID YOU KNOW. Ed counted the timings for us, 10 clicks.
Another backing track for HAPPY XMAS (WAR IS OVER) but it had a very strange ending. Not that it matters because we will be backed by ukeleles of course. Ed sat at the piano and we sang it again.
Lilly Allen next, SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW with a very twinkly sounding backing track.
OH HOLY NIGHT was our finale, and many stood.
Good start back DFS, stay sparkly xxx
