The Big Pink Hunt

James

This season’s utterly splendid alto section social was organised by the ever-lovely Kay, and at lunch time on Saturday 13th May eight intrepid teams delved headlong into her Big Pink Hunt. Our starting point was the steps of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church (right next to Trafalgar Square). Kay and Annie were on hand to collect entry fees, dish out sugary/enumberry goody bags that were to sustain us on our quest, and distribute the maps and “not cryptic” (!) clues that would guide us through the West End to our final destination. We were then sent on our way at timed intervals with true military precision, with some teams actually heading off in the right direction! As always Liang and Hsien were at the ready to take photos a-plenty.

Pinkie spotlight – Susan

Susan

My name is Susan.
My section is Tenor.
I joined the Pink Singers in 2001.
I joined the Pink Singers because I wanted to do something other than soothe my Sunday hangover.
My favourite thing about being a Pinkie is seeing how excited and how much fun we all have when we sing together – cheesy I know!.
When I’m not rehearsing you can find me working too much but I’m getting therapy for that!
The song that I would most like us to perform is Boogie Woogie Boy by the Andrews Sisters.

The song in our repertoire which should be laid to rest is Seasons of Love – sorry to those who like it!

A Night At The Races

Prior to this Pinkies event, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. The only previous race night I’d attended was a pig racing night in a country pub. The pigs were clockwork. Each was wound up and placed at the starting line of a long table. Still that was some years ago, in rural Dorset – well they have to make their own entertainment in those parts.

Pinkies Theatre Evening

On the cold, dark evening of March the 21st a number of Pinkies descended upon Richmond to watch a play for the bass sectional social event. The play was at the Richmond Theatre facing Richmond Green. The red velvet seats and covered walls were a comforting reminder of the pleasure of theatre going and ice-cream intermissions.

Pinkie spotlight – Fran

Fran

My name is Fran.
My section is Soprano.
I joined the Pink Singers in 1995.
I joined the Pink Singers because it sounded like fun and I love music.
My favourite thing about being a Pinkie is relaxing with friends after rehearsal, and seeing people enjoy themselves at our concerts.
When I’m not rehearsing you can find me in the garden, with a glass of red wine, watching the world go by.
The song that I would most like us to perform is I’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.
The song in our repertoire which should be laid to rest is Seasons of Love… too repetitive… sounds like a cuckoo clock set to music.
