It was SO exciting to get into performance mode again, standing closer, facing the audience and taking the songs to a new level. You can click on the links below to hear some of the performances. We really enjoyed getting the audience involved in singing <strong>Blue Moon<\/strong> and <strong>Never Gonna Give You Up<\/strong>, we were proud to show off the epic arrangement of Adele\u2019s <strong>Rolling in the Deep<\/strong> that we had started learning before lock down (arranged by Gitika Partington) and we finished with a song celebrating our emergence from the restrictions of the past two years: Elton John\u2019s <strong>I\u2019m Still Standing<\/strong>, arranged by Wendy Sergeant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the concert we enjoyed food and drink provided by the choir and even sang a few old favourites before we went home.
