That was quite the warm-up for the last of our triallers ! This week we covered more of 'Blackbird' and focussed on some key areas of 'Fantasy'. Now its guide-track time to practice and learn the song ! We had a great preview of the next arrangement we could expect, a version of 'Human Nature' Don't forget the Pembroke Castle is our post-rehearsal social spot - all welcome. |
Sing and Social night welcomed potential new members this week. We started to learn Sam's new arrangement of "Blackbird" (Lennon-McCartney) then spent time revisting '"Nica Libres at dusk" (Ben Howard) before spending the rest of evening socialising and making our guests welcome. The recipe for a Nica Libre is ... 2 oz Nicaraguan Rum, Juice of half a lime, Ice, Coke. We got through half a bottle of Rum on wednesday so hope you all got some. |
Term starts on Wednesday September 3rd with a regular rehearsal. Sing and Social opportunity for prospective members on Wed Sept. 10th |
