Hi everyone, I’ve annoyingly got covid , feeling pretty much OK but obviously I will have to cancel tomorrow night. Due to a fortuitous booking error on my part I have booked the room for the following week so I am moving the 60’s special part 2 session to then.

Hope you all can make it and spread the word about the date change if you can.

Thanks

Chris

Hi everyone, I’ve got a few special sessions lined up, and the first one is all 60s songs. And we are going to do our first Beach Boys number too! There will be another 60’s set later in the term because I couldn’t fit in all the ones I wanted do. Also look out in the future for other ‘decade’ specials, a crooners night plus a Beatles/Kinks/Stones evening.

The set –

You really got a hold on me, will you still love me tomorrow, what a wonderful world, walk like a man, Venus, tracks of my tears, tainted love, sweet Caroline, SURFING USA, sugar sugar, son of a preacher man, sitting on the dock of the bay, river deep mountain high, proud Mary, people are strange, nights in white satin, Mrs Robinson

Hope to see lots of you there, new members of any standard are always very welcome.
