Last week, introduced by baritone Allan Saye, Stefan Edwards came along to practice to have a listen to us and was so encouraged by us reading our new pieces from music sheets that he thought ‘it couldn’t be too hard, I might join’. This Monday he saw and heard us singing a range of familiar songs (to us) without sheet music and he thought ‘How can they do that?’ and nearly left. Thankfully he stuck around and with a little encouragement went into the back room with Siân (brave lad), sang a few ‘Oohs’ to accompaniment on the piano and was told ‘You’re a second tenor, Stefan’.
Not to be shown up, newcomer on the night, David Price (he only popped in from the pub with Spencer Dowse for a warm), was hustled into the back room before he could escape and like Stefan, only a little higher, belted out a few Ooohs and emerged, pale faced and with a glazed look in his eyes to be told he’s a top tenor! How good is that!
Both took their assigned places among the ranks of the choir for the second part of practice and managed to survive unscathed to the end. The Choir is absolutely delighted to welcome you both and we all hope you will enjoy many years of singing with us.
Many thanks to Allan and Spencer for bringing along two new recruits. Could we all follow their example as well and bring along some friends?
If you’re reading this and have thought about joining a Male Voice Choir, why not follow Stefan and Dave’s example, come to the Choir Hall on a Monday or Thursday evening, walk through the door and have a listen to us? How easy is that? Bring a friend if you’re shy. And it’s warm with the heating on! Click on JOIN US to learn more.
