The Big Wheel’s Big Day Out

Our next public appearance is at the Big Wheel's Day Out at Nottingham Castle, along with the Major Oak Chorus.

We are appearing at the opening ceremony, at about 11.00 am and performing in front of the Lord Mayor Of Nottingham, Councillor Jeannie Packer.

The festivities start at about 11am. Come and check us out - it's free!
The quartet will be performing a couple of songs about 11.15, then I'm sure there will be some "ad hoc" singing after that.

Beer n Barbershop in ass.with Macmillan Cancer Support

Beer n Barbershop was a great success, both for the Major Oak Chorus and ourselves, and the audience seemed to like the new routine, "I Only Have Eyes For You". Now it's off to Llandudno for the British Association Convention and National Championships.

Good luck to everyone, but especially the Major Oak Chorus and our brother quartet, 4 Blokes Singin', who are performing with a stand-in Tenor, Mr Dale Kyneston from Telford, who has more gold medals than you can shake a stick at!

Sound Celebration Show with the Major Oak Chorus

Here as both members of the Major Oak Chorus and as Special Blend, we had a very busy evening, but what a wonderful evening it was.

Sometimes, everything just seems to click into place, and this was one of those times. The Chorus was magnificent, 4 Blokes Singin' and Blush were superb and wow -what a reception we got from the audience! We performed our new Christmas set for the first time as well as our regular songs to a huge round of applause. Mick's antics with his Christmas hat had to been seen to believed. There was a professional photographer at the show, so as soon as I get some photo's, I'll upload them.

Now it's back to the grind rehearsing for the Cancer Reseach Charity show on Friday 5th December at the Council House in Nottingham.

Gedling Homes at the Lakeside

We had a great time at the stunning Lakeside in Arnold on Friday Evening, the staff were really helpful and allowed us to use one of the rooms in the sports centre side as a dressing/warmup room.

The performance itself went well, and we had great fun when a couple of the guests - who were also singers - got up and "helped" us sing "Under The Boardwalk" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". We also suprised one lady sat a table when we left the stage area and sang "Sweet And Lovely" to her. We were in a playful mood!

Although we were contracted for a 30 minute performance, we actually sang for about an hour to fit in with the Gedling Homes evening schedule.

This afternoon it's back to the grindstone polishing up our Christmas package ready for the Major Oak Show on the 29th.
