Exciting news about the Marple group!

The Marple Secret Singers group has been asking about moving from fortnightly to weekly classes for some time now and I just haven’t had the capacity to do it.

What a Fabulous Big Sing!

Didn’t we have a wonderful time at the Big Sing on Saturday! Burwain Sailing Club was a wonderful venue, it was warm and fine enough to do some singing outside- even if there was a bit of competition from music from across the lake. I have had some lovely comments about the evening which I include here and also some photos. Angela Dewey, Marple group sent some recordings which are mp4 format and I will try to get those on too. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and must now get on …
