Local Group Report – Worthing – Wednesday 4th April 2018

Our April session attracted a goodly crowd of songsters. With enjoyment and future performances in mind, and with Emily’s patient guidance, we worked on a couple of the songs we are still learning (The Bee Boy’s Song and Lark in the Morning), and then two more also on the setlist designed for the Butser Farm event in May (Hal an Tow, with Alan doing an excellent solo on the verses, and the May Day Carol). After the break we returned to more familiar material and sang our way through most of the songs planned for use at the Weald and Downland Museum’s Spring event on 15th April (Old Adam, Green Grow the Laurel, Ebernoe Horn Fair, The Brisk Young Ploughboy, The Farmer’s Toast and Rosebuds in June). Just for us we finished with Rolling Home, a song not from the South Downs but now beloved by many, to conclude our sessions. We look forward to welcoming the merry month of May and all comers again at our next sing at Ye Olde House at Home on 2nd May. See you there!
