Here is the set for next Tuesday. It’s a bit of a mish mash of old our classics, 2023 additions and three brand new tunes.

Just to say, a number of you have asked me about playing gigs – I tried to arrange a charity xmas busk at Surbiton Station but didn’t get very far. Another time maybe! But I have been in contact with Maria (who has booked us for open mic nights in the past), and she is very keen to have us play on one of her Sunday night sessions at the Brave New World in Surbiton, so once we’ve found a date where we can get a decent amount of us out we can book it in……

Here is the set –

Beach Boys Medley, Be-Bop-A-Lula, California Blue, Cupid, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Delilah, Don’t Get Me Wrong, *Get Back*, *I Could Be So Good For You* (yes, it is the theme from Minder, I bet none of you know the middle 8), Let’s Stick Together, Love Potion No 9, Only You, *Ooh La La*, Rave On, Wildwood Flower, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

If you are new and wondering whether to join in you are very welcome. Have a look at this page to see what we are all about!

Hi everyone, we are delving into the 70’s on Tuesday. If I can find a new song to add to the collection I will try to add it in…..If you are new and interested in coming down please do! You can look at the info page in the menu or get in contact with me.

Hi everyone, we’re into the 60’s for the set on the 31st. (Please note we are not meeting on the 24th!)

It should be a fun night with one new one – Mr Bojangles

Hi everybody

We are booked in for another charity session on the 10th October raising money for the Fight Against Blindness charity. We did a similar concert about a year ago raising about £400 so it is well worth it. What’s really convenient is the audience come to us at our normal rehearsal time!

The plan will be to practise the set at the next meet up on the 26th, and then if you can all pay cash the following on the 10th we will donate those fees (minus the hall hire) along with the ticket sales to FAB.

Hopefully lots of you will be about for this…. Any new or prospective members please come and join in too! There is no need to be nervous, and definitely the more of us the better!

Here is the set, I will bring paper copies on the night so need to print anything if you are missing any/all of the tunes. I’ve picked good sing-a-long tunes hopefully…..

Five Hundred Miles, I’m a Believer, I’m Into Something Good, I’ll Never Fall in Love Again, Leaving On a Jet Plane, Rock and Roll Music, See You Later Alligator, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, Streets of London, Sunny Afternoon, Sweet Caroline, Urban Spaceman, Waterloo, You’re Cheatin’ Heart, Bring Me Sunshine

Hi everyone, welcome back after the summer! Hope you had fun.

We’re back on the 12th, same time and place (details are here for any new people). Just to say if you know anyone who wants to just come and sing along they will be very welcome.

This term I’m going to do a few decade based sessions and we are starting off with the 50’s. There will be FOUR new songs (!) but they are all easy.
