A wonderful evening at the Emerald Wedding Anniversary, surrounded by Dukes and Duchess's, Cruella De-ville (complete with baby dressed as puppy), Austin Powers, and Buddy Holly et al. (It was fancy dress). The quartet went as James Bond, A monk with a dirty habit, A confederate army officer (occifer later on!) and a gangster.
Colds mostly gone now (except mine), but we were helped by using the groups' microphones and amplifiers so we didn't have to project the sound quite as much as usual.
We also led a bit of community sea shanty singing (it was that kind of evening) so it was heave-ho me hearties and Maggie May down Lime Street - a bit of a departure for us, but highly enjoyable nonetheless!
A couple of the girls from Klea Vision ladies quartet were there so they joined us for the ever popular "Lion Sleeps Tonight" that we finished our set off with.
Our next appearance is a joint venture with our fellow quartet 4 Blokes Singin' at a WI meeting in Nottinghamshire, then it's noses to the grindstone to get our Christmas package up to performance standards. We are really excited by this package as it contains a couple of hauntingly beautiful arrangements - pity they can only be sung for a limited time each year, but hey ho - or should that be Ho Ho Ho (groan).
