Sunday Arfternoon.
Well, as some of you may know a lot has happened these past few days. Firstly, I finally succumbed to joining Facebook. I really don't know why I didn't do this sooner as I'm already able to talk to most of my former classmates and it's only been 3 days! Catching up has been fun and this method of keeping in touch with folk suits my laziness to a T!

Where does that phrase come from?

Anyway, other news. Last night (Saturday) I was singing at Shrewsbury Music Hall. I like Shrewsbury - the area I was in was so quintessentially Medieval I forgot to watch where I was walking! And the music hall was brilliant. No idea how old - there were what looked like 16th century parts but most of it looked 18th century to me. But what do I know. I'll have to look it up on Wikipedia.

Having looked it up on Wikipedia, I see that I am completely wrong. The oldest bit is, in fact, 13th century and the rest of it is 19th century. Still, you can't blame a guy for trying ;-) I loved it none-the-less.

As for the concert - well that was a treat. It's the longest show I've done with the choir - 12 songs as opposed to the usual 6 songs. Two soloists joined us and they were fantastic. They really were. Not just good singers, but also charismatic and excellent performers.

I was selling CD's after the show and it was nice to be in and around the audience as they were leaving. Some people even came up to me and asked me to pass on their thanks to the rest of the choir for a brilliant performance.

Well after the performance we had something to eat and drink before setting off home. I got back to my house just after 2am but couldn't sleep. So I lay on the sofa watching various rubbish and finally drifted off around 5am. I slept until 10am so I'm feeling a tad tired today.

Our next concert is in Swindon in a couple of weeks. I'll post details here and on Youtube a bit nearer the time.
