What a start to the new season! 8.30 a.m. on a Saturday morning is not normally my idea of ‘the best time to get up’ but for a change, I was quite happy to.

After rushing to get to the Law Society in time we did a really good performance, singing our hearts out to, as I understand, a very influential audience. Singing Sheer Madness is always fun (I don’t think I will ever get tired of singing that!), even though we sang in two rows instead of the usual four, and I ended up all confused about the moves as I wasn’t standing in my usual place. Angels sounded great even without Mladen’s conducting and Tragedy is always a hit with the moves and everything.
