There was a real buzz about our singing in the Town Hall last week I felt which bodes very well for our performance next weekend. I was particularly pleased with the progress we made in “For Once in my life”. Keep up the great work and make sure you tell everyone to come to our performance in the Abbey Gardens. It is much easier to put on a show than it is to get people to come to it! (Absolutely 100% true)
Next week we will, of course, sing through our entire programme which will be taken from:
Wake Up, Lighter than Hydrogen, Up above my head, Morning has come, Evening Rise, Linden Lea, Ar Lan Y Mor, Follow the heron, Jug of Punch, Leko hode nedo, Evo banke,
Plovi barko, Long and winding Road, For once in my life, Green Green.
