Mills was there again, and seemed to be enjoying herself. She said she was going to come back here and tell you all, but she must be busy, so I have beaten her to it.

Tonight, 5.45 - 7.15.
All welcome.
We're really sorry but we're extremely overwhelmed preparing for a big concert tomorrow at Royal Albert Hall.

Just a quick note to say that there will be no rehearsal today (May 5th) – but – that we now have the schedule for the rest of this term.
For more details go to www.poolesparkcommunitychoir.org.uk.
Best wishes

Last night we had a look at Summertime, and a beautiful Cole Porter number, but for most of the session we are hard at work on 3 numbers from Carmen. Great stuff.
All welcome. See above, for details.
When does the next term begin? Unfortunately I missed both the concert (had to work late) and the get together yesterday evening (trying to finish an OU assignment) so I'm completely out of the loop! Looking forward to getting back into it in September though.
Have to say, I've really enjoyed the choir despite initial nerves about not being able to sing terribly well and would recommend it to anyone thinking of coming along next time - come on, the more people we have the less anyone notices when one of us goes a bit wonky ;)

Has Mark (the gaffer) got your email address? He usually lets us know at the last minute. The school reopens on 6/9, if that's any guidance. If you want to contact Mark, go to the choir's website (see above).
Hello to all Islington singers!
The new term has begun and we are looking forward to first choir rehearsal on Weds 15th Sept. We have an exciting repertoire for the term based around the theme of Islington. So many great musicians have lived in, or written about, Islington: Thomas D’Urfey, John Playford (the song collector who we think Playford Rd is named after), Benjamin Britten, Johnny Rotten (who grew up 100 yds from Pooles Park), and Dido. We are looking at a number of songs with some intriguing titles: The Fair Maid of Islington; the Milk Bottle Symphony; Bailiff’s Daughter; Grafton St etc . Come and join the adventure!
Sept Wed 15th
5.45 – 7.15pm
Rehearsal at Pooles Park...
...[and every Wed at the same time, except for half-term].
More details on website in a couple of days
All best and look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
