Hi everyone!

Here is an update for next week.

I will do the setlist in a minute but just wanted to give you some info…..

There are 12 parking spaces in the church car park for people using the building and unrestricted street parking all around.

Please come to the door around the back on the left (Church Lane side).

We will start at 8pm but feel free to get there a little early as we’ll have to all sign in and set the room up. This will include wiping down the chairs etc. There should also be hand sanitizer there for everyone to use.

Please bring a music stand if you have one. If not you might have to prop your music up on a spare chair……

Here is the set list! There are a couple of nods to recently departed stars…..we will be using the same chord sheets as before so bring your music (I will bring spares of the old stuff and plenty of copies of the tune which is brand new to the group).

Blue Suede Shoes (in A Major), Ballad of John and Yoko (D), Don’t Stop (D), Girls just want to have fun (G), Jolene (Am), Hallelujah (G), Crocodile Rock (G), NEW***All I have to do is Dream*** (D), Paint it Black (Dm), Honky Tonk Women (G), Don’t Worry Be Happy (C), Only You (C), I’ll Never Fall in Love Again (D), Happy Together (D), Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (G)

Should be a cracker! Beth and I are really looking forward to seeing everyone again.
