BIGGEST TURNOUT SO FAR THIS YEAR

With only three of our members missing today the room was full, and all the spaces taken up as we moved to the beautiful CIACCONNE by the group ARPEGGIATA finally resting in a good posture for singing.
There was a nip in the air outside, but when we put all our voices together to sing the African HAMBA NATHA the warmth from the south permeated the room as we blended in close harmony.
Peggy Seager's song LOVE CALL ME HOME is new to our group and we spent some time just singing it through allowing that to sink in before we start to harmonise it next week.
This is a beautiful song I feel sure will be a favourite with us. We ended the morning with Alison Burns's arrangement of the children's song, THE WIND BLOWS HIGH, giving it lots of energy and a rollicking pace.
