Whoops!

I was going to post up some recordings of the choir today as I witnessed some very fine singing today at St John’s including hearty renditions of “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean” and a song included in a Youth Music pack called “Refuge”, but I must have made a mistake with my portable recorder so ended up with no recordings. Sorry!

However, in addition to meeting the school choir, I was able to meet Katie, Bea and Holly, all of whom play the keyboard, Angela - a clarinet player and Euan, Arianne, Charlotte and Catherine who are violin players (I should also mention that Catherine also plays the piano). I was treated to a rendition of each and managed to at least record a piece played extremely well by Bea on her keyboard to share here from this afternoon’s visit.

It’s just a quick entry today as I’m back into St Johns on Friday to start some lyric writing sessions.
