Noticeboard - 28th January 2020
The next Music Saturday is on February 1. It's a week earlier than usual so we don't collide with the Pantomime in the Village Hall. If you're stuck for something to do on Saturday 8, get a ticket for pantomime – it's always great fun. Slow Tunes will again be the final session.
15 of us enjoyed a meal together at Lal Khazana in Shilbottle after the January Music Saturday. We'll do it again in a few months time.
The Music Saturday pattern goes on being broken – the next one is on February 29, Leap Day. That's because our usual weekend was needed for our Gilbert and Sullivan Workshop. Our Swedish Folk Music sessions start again, running from 3.30 to 5pm
If you are planning to take part in Trial by Jury, our Gilbert and Sullivan for this year, you should have received an email asking you whether you want to borrow a score and about taking on a solo part. If you haven't had an email, contact me now. It's not too late to join in – just make contact.
Our next Musical in a Morning is on Saturday March 28 – and it's Showboat. Join us on the Cotton Blossom, a vessel on the Mississippi, help tell the story and sing along to numbers like “Ol' Man River” and “Can't Help Lovin' dat Man”. All as usual - 9.30 – 12.30, everyone welcome, £5 includes everything you need.
We're getting close to fixing a date in March or April for Drop In to decamp to the Running Fox for a session of Drinking Songs. Do let me know any impossible Tuesdays for you if you'd like to do it.
There's an exciting new opportunity for singers and instrumentalists of any standard and type of music on March 21 in Rothbury. Check out the calendar to read all about it, and make contact if you are interested in participating.
The Bridge Singers and the recently formed (and very good) Coquet Concert Band are sharing a concert on Wednesday February 19 in Swarland Village Hall. A great variety of music and a new piece by Cheryl Camm. Tickets may be in short supply – talk to people in the groups and look out for posters.
