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.

Dates for next term are the 9th and 23rd of November, and the 7th December. We are going back to fortnightly for the time being…..

We have a theme for the first half of this weeks set! See if you can work out what connects the first 8 tracks. There will hopefully be a new tune too if I get a sec. You can see the chord sheets here or wait till the night for hard copies.
