Apologies for the lack of newsletters recently but they have been mostly links to our Zoom virtual choir sessions. Here is the most recent and a screen shot of David’s virtual birthday choir evening at the beginning of the month. Andrea
Dear All,
Great turn out yesterday evening and judging by people’s faces, greatly enjoyed. Karen has clearly become a dab hand at Zoom technology – I’ll be my turn to take a step into the unknown next week. If you haven’t yet joined us, don’t be nervous about doing so - we can’t actually hear you singing.
BBC RADIO 3 SING ALONG
Radio 3 are inviting everyone to gather round the virtual piano to sing along to Ivor Novello’s We’ll Gather Lilacs – which I am not ashamed to admit is actually one of my favourite songs. Full details (including a link to the words) here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/42CzgBYLd6DTWzVfLt9qTxG/the-radio-3-breakfast-singalong
