Rocking Around the Christmas tree!

Performance block this week.  I joined the Rock Choir and we are singing Rocking Around the Xmas Tree, originally sung by Brenda Lee as well as Mariah Carey's All I need for Christmas is You.  Rehearsals in Monday and Tuesday.  The performance was on Wednesday 21 December. 

We worked to a tight timescale - only a couple of rehearsals,  Learning the words was the challenge!  I am a musician and I normally have such a strong ear for the melody that I often don't notice the words.  Quite a few fiddlers I know are the same.  

The discipline of choir singing has been a great experience.  This is now the second choral performance I have done and I'd like to sing more.  I have signed up for a fiddle singing workshop at the Sage on 14 January.

There is also something very emotional about singing in a group.  I quite often feel a bit teary - more so than playing the fiddle.   It was great fun.  

The staff also did a few numbers and there were various other acts too including the concert band.  Tricky timing on the flutes.  Well done to everyone!

I think our choir was at least as good as Mariah Carey. Samantha, our wonderful soloist could certainly give Mariah a run for her money.  I wish I had a video of our choir - but in the meantime here is Mariah Carey to get you in the Xmas mood
