I love singing. I used to sing in a choir, and I really, really loved that. As I watched the recent BBC competition Last Choir Standing I developed a real 'pang' to sing again. In a choir. OK, truthfully, what I actually wanted was to sing in Only Men Aloud, but I can't afford the surgery.
A quick Google search indicated that finding a choir to join might be easier said than done as any choirs listed locally were recruiting men only, were a bit highfalutin / hoity-toity, required individual auditions or sang in latin.
And then the other half discovered Singlive Belfast! Who just happen to rehearse 2 minutes drive from my front door. So I wandered down tonight to their recruitment night to find out a bit more and see if they'd have me, and ... I'm in!

Rehearsals start on Monday night for the performance of 'Sing Swing' (Mac the Knife, Fly me to the Moon, Chattanooga Choo Choo and the like) at Belfast's Waterfront Hall on Sunday 7th December. Gotta wear 40's clothes ... anyone got access to a wartime nurses uniform??

I'll check my wardrobe. What size of nurse's uniform do you want?
Funny, I just knew you'd have one
On second thoughts Pluto, why don't you join the choir and then you can wear your own costume.
I thought you'd never ask ;)
Cool, very cool, very exceptionally cool.
I just Karen Carpenter's album on the record player today - and she was Singing a song, singing out loud and singing out strong to us as we dusted and vaccuumed.
Have a great time singing and swinging. Hope you can find a snood, an A line skirt and argyle socks - you'll fit right in. Enjoy Songbird!
