Hallooo

So finally there is a couple of weeks for me to tidy my desk and have a bit of time to reflect on the then, the now, and the later on…

I am quite good at embracing the concept of rest and recovery, but its a bit like 100pmh to 0mph..which seems to suggest I always leave it a bit late and the recovery happens when I am in crash mode…nope..actuall feeling pretty darned good and ready to take on another term of lovely singing starting 23rd April.

It has been a glorious term and even though my term off did not go according to plan ( there was a plan? ) I feel I had a chance to appreciate how much my choirs mean to me and what an important part of my life singing with other people is.

Here is a wonderful  version of Single Sky that I wrote and recorded with Andrew McCrorie-Shand as part of my 3 Bucket Jones life. Arranging it for my singing tribe, and the Bishopsgate Singers embracing it  and singing it so beautifully feels likely creative  dots are being joined, if the makes any sense. We also sung another Bucket Song in the Tubthumpers Chorus but yet to record it..Thanks to Bob Karper for filming it. I feel a string quartet moment coming on….

 

 

Another technical milestone has been crossed -I can get soundcloud to show up on my blog..yippee! So I am going to start having a PAGE which shares the latest song I have arranged into acapella. This will be on a heading at the top of my (ahem) website, always sounds a bit pretentious…… still. But as I have got the hang of it I am going to post another song here just so I can practice my newly found skill. This is a version I finished about 2 weeks ago of a Pet Shop Boys song called West End Girls, for our 80’s season this term at the Bishopsgate Singers.
