Hi everyone, this will be the last session before a summmer break. One new one by the Beatles!

*Revolution*, Mr Tambourine Man, People are Strange, Rabbit, Rocket Man, Rockin all over the World, She, Stand by Me, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Sweet Caroline, That’ll Be the Day, The Bare Necessities, Beach Boys Medley, These Boots are Made for Walking, Whiskey in the Jar, All Shook Up, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Having just written the date in the heading I now realise that I should have done some sort of American Independence Day theme, which would have been much better than the theme that I did do……too late! Never mind, see if you can spot my thinking…..

A Whiter Shade of Pale, Bad Moon Rising, Cecilia, Dancing In the Street, End of the Line, Friday I’m in Love, Girls just want to have fun, Hit The Road, I Heard it through the Grapevine, Jambalaya, King of the Road, Losing my Religion, My Way, Nights in White Satin, Obladi Oblada, Paint it Black.

The set can be found here. If I get a few minutes I will try to stick in a new one too!

See you there!

Hi everyone, if I can get a new song in I will, but as it stands this is the set for the 20th –

American Pie, Can’t Help Falling in Love, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Crazy, Crocodile Rock, Da Doo Ron Ron, Ghost Riders in the Sky, Going Up The Country, Goody Two Shoes, Great Balls Of Fire, Here Comes the Sun, I Feel Like I’m Fixing to Die, Little Richard Medley, Lola, Minnie The Moocher, Rawhide, Shake Rattle and Roll, Streets of London

If you have never been before but are curious come and have a go. We don’t bite and everyone makes lots of mistakes all the time. There is no pressure to be good, we are just having fun.

EDIT – I have added River Deep Mountain High to the list!

Hi all, I’m on half term next week so am getting the set organised early. I’m hoping to add a new one when I get some inspiration……

You can see the files here…..

Be Bop a Lula, Baby I Love You, Calender Girl (this was new last week), Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head, See You Later Alligator, Sit Down, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, Sloop John B, Son of a Preacher Man, Starman, Sway, Under The Boardwalk, Walk Like an Egyptian, Walk Of Life, Walking On Sunshine, What A Wonderful World

One other thing, I had the following helpful notice from Suzanne this morning, worth bearing in mind!

“Chessington District Residents’ Association are holding their AGM at the Methodist Church Hall on Tuesday 6 June at 7.30pm.………….the group should be aware that it is possible that the car park will be full and surrounding roads may be full of parked cars!”

Hopefully it won’t be too bad! There is free parking on the streets either side of the church and on the main road, and also on the other side of the roundabout……The last time this happened Judith asked me to ask you not to use the car park so I’m assuming that will be the case this time too. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Here is the set list for next Tuesday, hope to see you there! New faces are always welcome.

*Streets of London*, I Saw Her Standing There, I’ll Fly Away, In The Summertime, It Must Be Love, Jailhouse Rock, Jolene, Jonny B Goode, Karma Chameleon, Lay Down Sally, Living Doll, Peggy Sue, Proud Mary, Return To Sender, Rhinestone Cowboy, Rock Around The Clock

Here are a load of videos from the set we played for the 8 O’Clock Circle from Steve and Aitors partners (many thanks!). It was a great evening and everyone had a good time. They have kindly made a donation to the Fight Against Blindness Charity as a way of saying thank you to us for playing.
