Rehearsal 24th April

The two simple gospel sosngs first; I'll fly away and Over my head. Then The Girl from Ipanema. I wonder if audiences will realise just how difficult this piece has been, and how hard we've had to work to learn it? I bet not!! Finished with the two barbershop songs, Big Spender and Diamonds. Back to usual time next week.

Rehearsal 17th April

Back from Easter holidays, and in the case of Gill Telford, the holiday of a lifetime (Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand). Also lovely to welcome back Kath Leck from 'sick leave'. Worked on three numbers tonight. 'Les Mis', The Girl from Ipanema which is finally taking shape (it's really been quite hard learning this one!!) and Big Spender. For one week only, next week's rehearsal will start at 7.30, which will give Val H. times to get home from a long session with the Ofsted Team (may not have got that quite right but if that's so, I'm sure someone will kindly point it out to me!)
