We had a FANTASTIC gathering last week (welcome back, Matt!)

Hope to see a few more faces tomorrow for another great session.

APPEARANCE IN SEPTEMBER
Our goal is to sing for guests in the Essoign Club on Thursday September 15 at 1:30PM (following a quick warm up and run through at 1PM). We’ll confirm when the “gig” has been secured. We will sing some of the songs we’ve been learning since the end of last term (eg Lion Sleeps Tonight, Come Again) as well as including some show tunes as a bit of a sing-along for our audience.
