The night before the errr...night after

Just a quick post to fill you in on the night's proceedings. We had a small group rehearsal to go through O Bone Jesu. I am pleased to announce that I can now sing at least, ooo, three words without looking at my music (definitely not one for the 'let's do it by heart' brigade) and have even nearly cracked the first page. We had a very jolly time and by the end of the rehearsal even had (shock horror!) dynamics! It actually sounds like a piece of real music. What joy!


So roll on tomorrow evening when we perform at the National Library of Scotland. Apparently there are tickets left in case anyone reading this fancies a jolly jaunt to see Rudsambee battle with Carver (man, that sounds dangerous!). Join us if you can.


Thanks to A-L for a great birthday party on Saturday night. Sebastian sang West Side Story [Chris says: What, ALL OF IT?], I realised that Bernstein is just way higher than I thought, Anne wore a basque (just see how you missed out), Tim looked like a Chav and A-L looked like the cleaner (aka Mrs Overall) in Acorn Antiques. We finished the evening admiring the beauty of Takamine guitars. Even Dave Gilmour played one don't you know and he is a discerning gentlemen with a posh voice and a penchant for impressive light shows.


Here, have a snatch of Mrs Overall (not Anna-Lauren in this case):





You'll get an update tomorrow night of course.
