Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that the wonderful Fay White will be taking Mainesong for the next three Wednesdays. She is really looking forward to being with you and you will be in for a lovely treat ..and rest from ‘Erik”! and even Portuguese things! Fay is a highly experienced singer/songwriter and choir leader, for those of you who haven’t yet been lucky enough to meet her yet.

I know also, that you will look after her.

I will be busy teaching those dedicated Steiner violin students at the Little Yarra Steiner School and doing some accompanying for VCE at the school as well, along with catching up with my sister, who also teaches there.

Another reminder that we are all gathering at the Maldon Hotel on July 18th for dinner and a sing…family and friends welcome. We just need to let Jan know for bookings.

See you on the 27th June. Have fun!

King Henry VIII might have been mad, bad and dangerous to know, but when he wasn’t killing his wives, or marrying them, or flensing his enemies, he enjoyed a good party and a song. Take this one, “Pastime with good company” which he composed. Seriously, you wouldn’t want to be seen not singing it …
