With Carnival Day next Saturday we will be concentrating on our songs for this next time. They’re all sounding pretty good so it should be a fun session just giving them that bit of extra polish. I haven’t forgotten song requests though. We will return to these the week after next.
Our programme will be taken from: Bring a little water Sylvy, Isa Lei, Evo Banke, Follow the Heron, For Once in my Life, Green Green, Jug of Punch, Linden Lea, Up Above My Head, Wake Up, Walk a Mile in My Shoes, Blue Moon, Little Bit of Love, Sithi Shwele / A Yele, Viva la Musica
I am attaching a fresh song sheet with all the words you need in alphabetical order. Please print it out for yourselves if you need to and maybe an extra copy for a needy soul.
