Hi all, sorry for the constant posts. If you have a full set of music for this term, you can stop reading here. I have heard from the suppliers and the publishers are now all out of the Gjeilo (Dark Night) AND, now, the Whitacre (Sleep). We have bought out their entire stock, it seems, and the expected date for…… Read more →

Morning all, hope your central heating is working OK. Our fourth full-choir rehearsal last night was another good step towards the concert. We were very happy to have Ivy and Juliet join us for the first time, I hope you felt welcome and enjoyed singing with us. Thank you to Bex for making a Spotify playlist of the pieces and…… Read more →

Evening all. I am just home from Robert’s knitting concert, which was one of the best little concerts I have ever been to. No exaggeration. Never mind Carnegie Hall, Tanglewood with Yo-yo Ma and the BSO, the Proms – this was exceptional. If you have never been to one of these concerts, make a promise to yourself that you will…… Read more →

Dear All Please find details of Robert’s next knitting concert below: Concert on Sunday 9th October at 6pm at All Saints Church, Putney Common, SW15 1HL. A recital of violin and piano music with the violinist Madeleine Mitchell. We’ll be playing sonatas by Copland (evocative, punchy and jolly tricky to count) and Richard Strauss (lush, just lush) and maybe an…… Read more →

Hi all First, before I forget again – Music. Three things. One, those of you who are part of the second batch order may have noticed that you didn’t get everything you ordered. The Gjielo book is on back order. The projected delivery date is not good – around half term. So we may need to do some printing. I…… Read more →
