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.

You can bring your partners if you wish although I think they would like to get an idea of any extra numbers before we start.

They have a bar!

Please let me know if you think you can or can’t do it so I can keep track…..

Hi everyone,

Here it is then, the riposte to last session’s Valentine’s Day sweetness. It was tricky to whittle down all the great break up songs we play but here is the set –

Fats Domino Medley, Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover, Go Now, I Heard it Through Grapevine, I’ll Never Fall in Love Again, It’s My Party, Jolene, *Lipstick on your Collar*, Promises, Return to Sender, SOS, See You Later Alligator, Tainted Love, Tracks Of My Tears, Thorn In My Side, These Boots Are Made for Walking, Without You

Some of them are a bit tricky but breaking up is hard to do……

Hi everyone, after the last session was a love song free zone, I thought we may as well fully embrace Valentine’s Day! I’ve tried not to make it too sickly…….

Here is the set list –

Baby I Love You, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Can’t Help Falling In Love, Five Hundred Miles, Friday I’m In Love, Great Balls Of Fire, Happy Together, I Only Want To Be With You, I Walk The Line, If Paradise Is Half As Nice, I’m A Believer, I’m Into Something Good, It Must Be Love, Nights In White Satin, River Deep Mountain High, She, Stand By Me, To Love Somebody

We may not get through them all….Look out for the ‘break up’ special on the 28th!
