Hi Everybody, I’m feeling really good about our preparation for Gatley festival. It will be a really fun day and no pressure for us...we’ll be great. Firstly, for Tuesday we need to finish the last few bars of the Lion king Medley and practice the rest of it. I hope you’ve found time to do some practice on it. So, we’ll be doing that plus singing through the other four songs which are sounding amazing. Secondly, here are some details for Sunday. Performance time= 3pm Please be at the stage for 2:30pm but the whole event starts from midday with a parade etc. You are very welcome to come to the whole day. It’s great. The address for the event field is: Scholes field Gatley Hill house SK8 4EY. There will be lots of people around (approx 3000 people in the past). We’ll be singing in the marquee so look for that towards the middle of event field. I will have passes for everyone in the choir. It’s a recommended £2 donation for those people that aren’t performing and it all goes to this not-for-profit community event. If you are driving I suggest parking near the following post-code Firs road Gatley SK8 4JT This is the far end of the event field and there should be plenty of room to park. You are looking for the park entrance in the dip of Firs road and then follow the music. As discussed, please wear colourful tops...it’s a chilled event. I’m excited about our first performance. See you on Tuesday, G   View less

Hi Maccers Well sung last week! Running order for next week will be as follows, centred around your MADS programme: LET THE RIVER RUN SOUND OF MUSIC DOWNTOWN HUSHABYE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST AFRICA (yes again!!!) REACH FOR THE STARS A MILLION DREAMS THE PRAYER BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER We'll work through these and see how far we get, but I think with quite a few it will be just a case of singing through. I will hear all intending soloists once more at 7 and a decision will be made the next day. See you Wednesday Andrew   View less

Hello lovely singers, For Monday, let’s start with a sing of Bring Him Home - we haven’t done that since the concert back in the spring. After which we’ve got plenty to occupy ourselves with Don’t Stop Me Now. There’s lots still to learn, although we made a fantastic start last week. Really looking forward to making great progress with that. We haven’t sung Fields Of Gold for a while, it would be good to remind ourselves. And maybe Let The River Run as well for a rousing conclusion, if we have time. Enjoy the sunshine (hope I haven’t spoken too soon on Saturday morning!) and look forward to seeing you on Monday evening, Very best wishes as ever, Simon   View less
