More great singing last Wednesday and really lovely to see a few old faces too. Eternal Flame, Stille der Nacht and Don’t Worry Be Happy are all beginning to sound good and we will continue with these next time along with Banana Boat Song (held over from last time), Ooh-la-la-lay and Rongo Mau to start + This is Home to round the evening off. All words, where needed, have been attached in recent weeks.
