Puttin’ On The Ritz
SATB & Accompaniment …
Recordings from Wendy, with her suggestions:
- Use the lyrics sheet (here) only and listen. That way continuity will be easier.
- Basses and tenors sound at pitch with the piano (I sing an octave higher to get you up to that range in your voice)
- Please ignore any discrepancies in my accompaniment, lyrics, etc!!!

Welcoming New Members
After interminable lockdowns and interruptions … it’s so good to be singing again!
Earlier this year we decided to increase the size of the choir, and new members arrived have been welcomed in but there is still some room if you wish to join us.
If you’d like to sing an eclectic and interesting 4-part SATB repertoire in the company of a friendly and engaging choral group, certainly we would like to meet you.
If you want to try it out come to the Campbells Creek Bowling Club on any Wednesday rehearsal evening. There is no obligation and your first night is on us.

End of Year Concert 2021
A really nice end of year concert
A really nice end of year concert we’ve had, at the West End Hall, for an audience of appreciative kids and attentive parents.
Thank you so much, to Wendy and the whole choir, those who could make it on the day and those who, with great regret, had to miss it. And thanks to our wonderful Steering Group, with whom it’s such a pleasure to work.
It has been a tough and weird year, hard to deny that, with the lockdowns and the stop/start nature of it all, but we’re here still and singing better than ever.
Rehearsals will resume towards the end of January,
pandemic regulations and commonsense permitting
Our 2022 starting date is yet to be set –
we’ll let you know as soon as we have it
Have an Xlnt break. Love to you and yours, take it easy and stay safe.
