It’s always fun to be around the Manchester Christmas
Markets. The Gluhwein and hot chocolate are tempting. Do they make us sing
better though? Well my paternal grandfather used to go round the Black Country
pubs, playing his fiddle and singing and he used to swear a by gargling red
wine before he set out. My own father recommended this to me.
“It’s all right, love,” he said. “You can swallow it if you
want to.”
Some was definitely swallowed tonight.
Anyway, there we all were, dressed like Christmas trees in
our purple tinsel, hats and fairy lights. It seemed to work. The hot chocolate
can be a bit too milky sometimes, but it didn’t seem to do any harm; the
general public stopped and listened and even clapped.
Mind you, Jeff needs to be a bit careful. A little lad in a
yellow jacket and hat almost did him out of a job. The same little lad’s finger
clicking was spot on in Holly Jolly.
Yes, it was good fun despite it being a little damp and
cool.
Then it was back to Ordsall for an almost full rehearsal of
our other repertoire.
We’ll be back, though:
Tuesday 29 November 5.30 – 7.00 Brazenose Street
Sunday 4 December 12.30 Whitworth Art Gallery Frost Fest Food
and Drink
Tuesday 13 December 4.00-5.30 St Ann’s Square.
