Thanks to everyone who came to the last session’s FAB concert – Connie from FAB said we raised £445 so great work! If anybody wants to share any photos or videos from the night please get in touch. I thought we played really well and it was brilliant to have all the audience singing along.

Next up is a return to the Surbiton Festival on the 27th. I’ve just heard we are likely to be on at 12pm on the Claremont Stage for 45 mins, but I will confirm all the details closer to the time.

I’ve picked a different set to last year, but have kept a few from the FAB gig because they are already well rehearsed. They are all good sing-a-long tunes hopefully! I’ll whittle it down a bit after Tuesday’s session.

Cecilia, Country Roads, Dedicated Follower Of Fashion, Delilah, Every Day, Five Hundred Miles, Help, Hi Ho Silver Lining, Honky Tonk Women, Hound Dog, I Wanna Be Like You, King of The Road, Proud Mary, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, See You Later Alligator, Sit Down

Hi everyone, here is the set for next Tuesday, there are some easy ones and some not so easy ones! –

Rocket Man, Rockin’ All Over The World, San Francisco Bay Blues, See You Later Alligator, Shake Rattle and Roll, She, She’s Not There, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, Sit Down, Sittin’ on the Dock of The Bay, Sixteen Tons, Sloop John B, Somewhere Only We Know, SOS, Sound of Silence, Please Mr Postman

New members are always welcome! Reach out to me on the contact page or have a look at the info above.

The next session after this will be on the 19th August.

Hi everyone

It was a really fun evening, thanks everyone. Nice to have a chat in the pub afterwards too!

There is no session on the 27th of May, Beth and I are away.

So we will be back in June on the 10th. We’re up to ‘M’ now in our epic alphabetical trek through the repertoire. I will try to add a new one at some point but for now this is what to expect –

Mad World – Maggie May -Make You Feel My Love – Malt and Barley Blues – Maxwell’s Silver Hammer – Minnie The Moocher – Money – Mr Blue Sky – Mr Bojangles – – Mr Tambourine Man – Mrs Robinson – Mull Of Kintyre – My Way – Nights In White Satin – Nine To Five – Non Je Ne Regrette Rien

In gig news we are booked for the Surbiton Festival on Saturday 27th September so keep it free. We will also hopefully do another Fight Against Blindness charity set at the start of September (date tbd), plus we have the Epsom WI Xmas gig on the 3rd Dec at 2 30pm

See you soon

Hi everyone

Here are the ten songs for the 13th in the correct order –

Little Richard Medley – See You Later Alligator – King Of The Road – Dedicated Follower Of Fashion – I’ll Never Fall in Love Again – Proud Mary – Jolene – Urban Spaceman – Stuck In The Middle With You – Five Hundred Miles

We will aim to start at 8pm so try to get there a little earlier if you can. Judith from the church asked me if we could not overfill the car park that night, so leave at least a few spaces for the other church users. There is plenty of parking on the roads either side of the church, plus the main road too.

Then we will play through the tunes to whatever audience is there – we currently have about 15 to 18 people coming so have room for more! (Feel free to encourage/guilt trip your friends and family.) Drop me a line if you have a few coming so I can keep tabs on the numbers.

After we’ve played we will pop over the road to the pub for a quick drink and a chat.

If you are reading this and have not been down to the sessions for a while then by all means come along and join in or just come and watch. Or if you are thinking about joining us for the first time this could be a good night to check out what we do!
