We were a bit far away in the video so I've fitted appropriately different visuals!!

We do sing this piece it a lot better nowadays! This was our first public airing for The Book Of Love.

This link only seems to work if you stand up, turn around three times, hold down Ctrl and give it a click, it then opens up another tab which is where the video reposes.....quite exhausting really but go on, give it a click!!...OK, I admit it, the stand up bit was a :-) in preparation for tomorrow morning, 1st April.

Many thanks to everyone who helped with today's Coffee Morning, your assistance was really appreciated and the sticky toffee gingerbread and almond cakes went down very well!!

Come and meet K Shoes Male Voice Choir in a welcoming and relaxed ambience!!

An excellent time was had by all this afternoon at the Mary Wakefield Festival, both the singing and the listening to the other choirs were so enjoyable!! I felt, as I would, that we acquitted ourselves very well and the audience seemed to agree.
Congratulations to Arnside Choral Society, the Eversley Choir and the Lacuna Upper Voice Choir, what fantastically good sounds! 
This level of enjoyment is what being in a choir is about..........and well done Ian for leading two choirs in one afternoon and to Tracie for her hard work in helping both choirs!

Tomorrow we look forward to singing at the Mary Wakefield Festival. As well as the words and music we have been rehearsing how to process onto and off the stage in a dignified manner.....

I thought the following might be an appropriate mantra for us all, in the immortal words of the original rocker we should all:

"Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye

That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high

She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high

Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye"....

 The AGM went well and as always a high spot was the presentation of 100% attendance medals, in this case to the two 2016 qualifying members, John Warner and Jim Fielding, by our President, Mary Powney. Their performance was exceptional with 100% for rehearsals, concerts and other events, e.g. workshops. Well done John and Jim!!

Although it was an enjoyable event it was an evening for our, in the immortal words of Joey from Friends, "gracious loser" faces.....
Along with 80% of the finalists we were runners up. Levens Choir are the 2017 Cumbria Life Choir of the Year and we applaud them, as well as all the other finalists.
To lighten the mood and remind us of why we do what we do in the way we do it, here is a short video clip by SZLZ in Germany showing what International fun you can derive from Male Voice Choral singing. 
We do not plan to introduce this gesture of respect for the Conductor in the near future....
