Rehearsal Plan Tuesday 23/06/2026

First and foremost a huge thank you to those who came over to Swindon to sing for the Brighter Future’s event. It was an absolute joy to conduct you, and I’ve had lots of positive feedback from people who very much enjoyed listening to you sing. The Mary Poppins Medley was a smash hit, but the whole programme was great. Please give yourselves a big pat on the back, and allow yourselves to be proud of your efforts.

Last Tuesday 16th June we sang through all the songs for the Swindon event. The programme for the LINK event at Lockeridge on Saturday 4th July will be the same as Swindon plus three additional songs. On Tuesday 23rd June we will run the additional songs for the LINK event (I Could Have Danced All Night, You Raise Me Up, Singers of Songs), and work on Only You and Shosholoza (which I hope we’ll sing at our informal concert for family and friends on Tuesday 7th July):

  • I Could Have Danced All Night
  • You Raise Me Up
  • Singers of Songs
  • Only You
  • Shosholoza

Song words, audio tracks and sheet music are on the Resources page.
