The InkwellMonday 30th December 2019
Sat up in the gods, or in the stalls
enjoying the vibe of the tunes
nailing together the storyline and
sewing up all the loose threads
as you watch the actors tell the tale, you
tap away in rhythm with the cast
it wont be long till you join in with the rest
on the request of one of the actors on stage – as the
next thing you know – you’re leading the chorus

Imperial War Museum North (Red Room)
Another meeting of the Choir today, after our round robin performances at IWM North, Manchester Art Gallery and Manchester Museum.
There must have been something in the air today, in that we were a little reduced in number – but the enthusiasm of the group wasn’t tempered.
We concentrated on two numbers today, All above my head and All around – concentrating on a few changes to the way we sung it at previous performances.
a literary response to the Manchester Voices Volunteer Choir
Let the people sing aloud,
for those in the audience are justly proud…
of those gathered together in a mere few weeks –
the music director needed some tweaks…
as they sorted the tenors from the bass baritone
with a couple of sopranos sometimes singing alone.
but joining as one, they’ve sung their songs
(and sometimes , their audience have been singing along)
