We have Matt McKenzie, leader of both Matlock and Derby Tuneless Choirs visitng to lead us after a fabulous session last year. Matt plans on introducing us to some quite different songs: • NEW: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For: U2 (1987) We'll be accompanying Matt on his acoustic guitar for this one.
• NEW: Lola: The Kinks (1970) We do like a bit of Kinkiness so let's try this one out. Lots of satisfying Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lolas.
• NEW: Rosanna: Toto (1982) We like their Africa so good to try another.
• NEW: She's The One: Robbie Williams (1998) A sweet one, with some a couple of wonderful notes to murder. And another one that Matt will play on guitar.
• NEW: Blinding Lights: The Weeknd (2019) Quite recent for us, but if you have a listen you'll probably find it familiar. It's been in a Mercedes-Benz commercial!
• NEW: Minnie the Moocher: From The Blues Brothers (1980) In the film it is sung by American jazz singer and bandleader Cab Calloway, who originally recorded it in 1931. He was known as the hi-de-ho of jazz as it was his most famous song. We'll be singing with Cab.
Besides those there are some very familiar songs such as 'Hi Ho Silver Lining', some we've only done a few times such as 'Achy Breaky Heart' and some we've only done before with Matt such as George Michael's 'Faith'.
Last year Matt was great at leading us, at a few appropriate points, in kazooing. Not sure if that's the plan with this lot, but if you an locate a kazoo then bring it along for another lesson. If not don't worry - we have 31 spare!

-----------------------------------
We're the choir for people who can't get all the right notes in the right order!
Come and get the endorphin-boosting benefits of group singing, without the pressure. We rattle through popular songs, from the 50s to the present day.
We usually meet on the first and third Wednesdays of the month.
Contact us if you have any questions, but feel free to turn up at 7.15pm! It's a case of going down the wide passageway to the left of the Methodist Church.
Newcomers are very welcome. Pay only £12 for your first session including registration with the choir. (Unless you know someone in the choir in which case you can tryout as a guest with them first, for £7 though it all works out similarly in the end.)
Thereafter it's £9 "pay as you go" or you can book a term which works out as the equivalent of £7 a session.
Includes hot chocolate & Wagon Wheel, tea & KitKat, coffee & Club biscuit, or such like. Please bring your own mug if convenient, otherwise we have disposable ones you can use.
