June 2017
It's June, last session before our summer break. And what better way to celebrate summer than by singing a version of a South African penny whistle song? It's called Tom Hark and you may know it from a version in 1980 by a band called The Piranhas.
We also did a gentle Native American chant "Hey Yana", a farewell song from Poland which works as a round, and Chris's arrangement of part of George Michael's song "Freedom".
If you don't know George Michael's "Freedom" you can find it here:
