Now then, what is this picture all about? To make any sense of it you need to refer back to our Facebook post about what we did ten years ago. See our post on 16 November this year.
The picture below is perhaps more what you were expecting.
What a lovely time we had.
Manchester Museum is a glorious building, even if it does involve a circuitous route to get to dinosaur Stan.
A few of us arrived early and indulged in some of the lovely cake served in the café.
It’s a busy time of year but we were managed to put together a well-balanced group of just sixteen. The acoustics are so fantastic there that we sounded like more and we could hear each other well.
We offered a mixture of our Christmas songs and our normal repertoire. Then we asked our audience to join in as we sang some of everyone’s favourites, including The Twelve Days of Christmas, along with actions, of course.
We had a fifteen minute interval which gave us some time to have a quick look at the museum and to chat to some of our audience. I’d shared my copy of the ‘singalong’ numbers with one young woman earlier and I made a point of talking to her in the break. She had been so enthusiastic.
“I suppose you’re auditioned, aren’t you?” she asked.
“Not at all,” I replied.
Of course we invited her and her partner to join us. The invitation naturally went out to everyone.
We had a small but every appreciative audience. I’m sure I spotted Stan nodding along to the music.
We can’t wait to be invited back again.
