January 2019

It was a crisp sunny winter's day this month. Cloud and sleet had been forecast, but didn't materialise.


It was a bit chilly in the Scout Hall to start with, but the singing soon warmed us up. We had a good crowd of over 30 this time, but only TWO men. However, they made up in quality what was lacking in numbers!

Here is the link to January's recordings.

We started with the Muslim greeting Asalaam aleykum, put to music by Nickomo as a response to 9/11: Peace be unto you.

We then spent some time on an amazing version of a poem by Elizabeth Frye: Don't kneel at my graveside and cry. It was worth it as this bluesy gospel-style song was great to sing!

This version of the song is by Barry & Holly Tashian. Click to hear their original in its full country glory.

We're back in Wivenhoe on Saturday 16 February come rain or snow. We hope to see you there.

Why not make 2019 your year of singing?
