Theme Nights
Every month we invite our members and visitors to perform a song or poem based on a particular theme.
It's not compulsory, of course, but we have found that having to come up with something has produced some novel and extremely imaginative choices.
COME ALONG AND HAVE A GO. IT'S GREAT FUN.
23rd Jan - Burns Night
A celebration of the life and works of Scotland’s National Bard. We invite you to sing a song, recite a poem or tell a story relating to the great man. It’s less formal than a full-blown ‘Burns Supper’ but just as much fun – and we have Haggis.
20th February - A Fine Romance
To celebrate Valentines Day (or as close as we could manage) we invite you to sing your favourite songs of love and romance. Be a s soppy and cheesy as you like – as long as you’re loving it.
20th March - The Wearing of the Green
The Emerald Isle has given us some truly beautiful songs. Romance, comedy and the almost inevitable fighting – Irish music has it all. Come along and sing us some of your favourite songs of ‘Ould Ireland’.
24th April - Memories
What music were you listening on your little Dansette record player in the halcyon days of your youth? Was it Elvis, The Beatles, Neil Young? Let’s hear the tunes that bring back those happy memories.
22nd May - Must Have a Chorus
It’s in the rules. We simply have to have some songs that everybody can ‘jine in’ with. We all know a few of these songs so let’s hear you sing them and let there not be a silent voice in the room.
All Together Now…..
19th June - Seasons
The seasons come and go – there’s really no way of stopping them. Each season inspires different music and we’d love to hear your reflections on what they mean to you. Joys of Spring, Hot Summer Nights, Autums Leaves, Hazy Shades of Winter – You Get the Idea.
