Yesterday the choir I am member of, Moo Choir, gave our first concert of the year. This is also only the second concert since the lifting of Covid restrictions last year, quite a drought really, since we usually perform live a few times every year.

I guess all choirs across the world suffered the same fate since singing in groups was seen as one of principal means of spreading the virus. Even rehearsing together was a no-no, zoom meetings being a very poor substitute for the real thing. It may be a good way of holding face to face events, but singing with 30 other people - you can forget about it!

The event yesterday at a retirement home in Springwood went remarkably well - the venue, choirs and audience coming together to make the occasion joyful. Maybe I am getting a little jaded of performance - 30 years of doing concerts big and small does wear out the special aspect somewhat - but I felt happy at the end.

Here's the flyer that some kind soul made to rally the older folk at the village. If you haven't sung in a group and would like to do so, I encourage you to join a community choir. All kinds of voices are welcome.
