The last session of 2022 will be on the 6th (not the 29th), and there is a concert on the 8th at the Parish Hall in Hook.

Here are the details for Thursday 8th – Hook and Southborough Hall, 224 Hook Road, KT9 1PL. In an email today the organiser asked if we can arrive at 7 15 and start at 7 30, please let me know if you have any issues with that! There is a bit of parking around the back and on the nearby streets. As I mentioned at the last rehearsal, we could wonder over to the North Star (appropriate) afterwards for a Christmas drink.

We will play these tunes first to get them ‘gig ready’ –

Merry Christmas Everyone, Blue Christmas, Rocking Around The Christmas Tree, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Let it Snow, Santa Baby, Jingle Bell Rock, Winter Wonderland, Feliz Navidad,White Christmas, Merry Xmas Everybody

and then if we have time left on Tuesday we will play some of these for fun –

I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day, Have Yourselves a Merry Little Christmas, Must be Santa, Frosty The Snowman, Santa Looked alot like Daddy, Fairytale of New York

Let me know if you have any questions! For the sheet downloaders amongst you, here is a link from last year. The order might not be correct but all the songs should be there.

Hi everyone, here is the set list for next Tuesday. I am hoping to get a new tune in but haven’t sorted it out yet!

So as it stands we will do these –

And then I kissed her, Blowing in the Wind, Blue Suede Shoes, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Brown Eyed Girl, California Dreaming, Cecilia, Chanson D’amour, Crippled Inside, Dancing in the Street, Don’t Get Me Wrong, Fats Domino Medley, Folsom Prison/Pinball Wizard, Friday I’m in Love, Go Now, Great Balls Of Fire, Hard Days Night.

I may drop one or two if I get new ones ready.

We will be having an extra weeks break after this and so will reconvene on the 6th of December where we will be preparing for the W.I. Christmas concert on the 8th.

If enough of the group would like to do a special concert for their friends and family I could probably swing it with the Church to do it on the 15th (we could do the Christmas set again), but I need to know we can get enough band and audience there to make it worthwhile. Alternatively we could do a concert in the new year instead. So have a think, and I’ll organise whatever we decide.
