Well there was a bit more snow over the weekend and there may still be a chill in the air, but looking beyond all that ... i have to say that i really enjoyed going to Grosvenor last night!
That's not to say that i don't normally enjoy it, but having thought about it, i reckon that it must rank in my top 5 rehearsals ever over my time in the choir! (don't ask me to list the other 4, but i'm sure there have been other notables over the years (?!)
New music was swallowed up last night and Orban will become a choir favourite, i'm sure. When i say 'swallowed up' though, i guess i've got to thank the better sight readers in the tenor section (i am the dodgy one, remember) for aiding that enjoyment of the practice :)
And as i was saying ... what about a little Hans Zimmer choral soundtrack music next week Ed ???

Did you survive the snow?
Well?
Most of us did ... apart from Ed (our musical director) having fallen and broken a wrist! It makes for interesting and somewhat challenging practices, but hopefully we're being a sympathetic bunch and responding to the slightly more restrained waving of arms and cast!
January has seen the arrival of a new tenor and a bass - 'thrown in the deep end' seems an apt phrase, but i hope the guys are enjoying the experience and craic.
Hopefully, a weekend of recording awaits around the corner, so that's what we're aiming for at the minute - wish us well!

p.s. A SPECIAL mention to say thanks to all those who were able to make it along to the Carol Service back in December and for helping us raise almost a £1000 pounds for our chosen charity - the Northern Ireland Transplant Association!
