Just a short one this week, to help those who struggle with getting to the bottom of messages. Firstly, if you have not seen and responded to Siobhan’s message about the Holly Lodge carol service, please do – we need to assess whether we have enough of each part to commit, and we need to give them an answer. For…… Read more →

Dear All  Many of you may recall that we were planning to take part in the Holly Lodge Centre (a local charity) Christmas Concert last year before it was sadly cancelled. Happily, Holly Lodge have invited us to take part in this year’s concert at Christchurch on Thursday 8th December. The plan would be for us to sing a selection of…… 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 →

The ordered music has just arrived, so if you were part of the order, there is no need to print In the Stillness, Sleep, or Lully, Lulla, Lullay for tomorrow as requested in the prior post. Read more → Read more →

So in addition to what you brought last week, please make sure that you have printed off the music for O Holy Night (Cantique de Noel). Unfortunately, the order with…… Read more →

Welcome back! It was wonderful to be together singing again. Lovely to see everyone, and to see some new faces. We are very happy to have you join us. As a choir, you all made a really good sound, right out of the gate. Well done for the note learning you have done in sections and on your own. Tonight…… Read more →

Hello all For those who have ordered but not received music, I am afraid that it looks like it will not, after all, be here for tonight’s rehearsal. It was posted last week but I suppose that the bank holiday and general disruption resulting from the Queen’s sad death has caused postal backups. My plan for tonight is to look…… Read more →

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. First, immense thanks to the people who kindly hosted and/or led the first two rehearsals, in their homes, and evidently in some cases with nibbles and throat medicine of the ‘red or white?’ variety. If you found it helpful to have done a chunk of note-bashing in the comfort of an armchair, please…… Read more →
