Hi Apples! What a wonderful evening we had last Monday - it was really special to see all that pent up energy you've been saving up for 6 months! Singing really is good for the soul, isn't it? Our programme for next Monday will be s follows: Scarborough Fair True Colours (from scratch!!!) Fernando The Rose - we have been learning this in the online sessions and it is a terrific arrangement. Don't worry if you've not been on the Zoom sessions - I will be teaching it from scratch. Les Mis Feels so great to be sending these emails out again! Sorry to sound like a headmaster but please remember, NO MINGLING!!! Head straight to your chair and talk to people from there. I know it sounds ridiculous, but these are now the rules by which we are risk assessed and under which we are allowed to operate. See you Monday Apples! Andrew   View less

Well Appletonions, I can't begin to tell you how long I have looked forward to writing this email! Who's in the mood for a good old fashioned sing song? Let's all just sing our hearts out with some of our favourite songs, rather than spend our first session in 6 months note bashing new stuff - we'll save that for another time! So here are some of your best songs that you will need to bring on Monday: Bridge over troubled water Beautiful Bring him home Daydream believer Elton John Fields of gold Hey Mambo Let the river run (the version we learned) Memory A million dreams True Colours - I know we only started this 6 months ago, but if we have time let's recap what we've done and maybe learn a bit more Reach for the stars How about that for a programme, Apples! I know there will be a few emotional moments singing these! I won't be bringing any spare copies with me so if you are missing any sheet music for the above, please could you sort yourselves out just this once? it would be appreciated! Please could you re check Mike's email to familiarize yourselves with procedures on the night. Mike says Bridgewater have been amazing: they have however insisted that we stack the chairs in the usual way at the end of the evening, but before we do that every chair needs to be wiped - so please could everyone bring antibacterial wipes and wipe their own chairs. This will be a great help to Mike, Andy and myself. I can't wait to welcome you all back - it will be different, but at least we'll be together again. SEE YOU MONDAY!!! Andrew   View less
