– and looking forward to 17th June ....
A few of our regulars were away on holiday or taking part at other events such as the Brighton Festival but we were pleased to be joined by returning singers Rona Couper from Hove, Penny Steel from Brighton and a new singer Frances Ocean – also from Brighton.
We mainly rehearsed the songs for the Horses at War event (see here for the report and photos from this enjoyable and well-received performance). Several of the newer songs for 2014 were started and we also sang some old favourites, in particular The Moon Shone Bright, a request from Penny who just likes it, hadn't heard it for a while and and thinks it a shame that such lovely old carols are only aired in the latter part of the year.
At the next session on 17th June we will reprise eight of the Horses at War songs for the Sussex University of the 3rd Age Network event at the University of Brighton on 12th July (details here). If you would like to sing in this event please e-mail me at southdownsfolksingers@gmail.com. Do come along to the Royal Oak session next week – you will be very welcome! If you can't make it, there will also be runthrough sessions in Worthing and Easebourne (see Diary Dates). The lyrics for these songs will be on the blog shortly so you will be able to learn / brush up your words between sessions.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
