Lovely to see you all this morning! A jolly lively and lovely sing song we had. I taught the chorus part to 2000 Miles again – if you missed it you can catch up here:

This is our next recording project and we’ve only got one more session together before the deadline! Please click on the link below to be taken to the website with all of the conducting videos and harmony links.

Lovely to see you all as well as Rosie the cat! x

What a jolly morning!

We sang. our heads off and made a start on the harmonies for 2000 Miles – I’ll get the conducting videos and upload folders on the site today for you all.

The we listened to your recording of ‘Chasing Cars’ which really was quite lovely- well done to everyone who took part xxx

And everyone loved ‘Hold my hand’. Have a lovely day everyone!!!

How lovely to see you all today and get our day off to the best start!

We sang ‘Moves like Jagger’ with added Kari-ography – fabulous energy!

We had a go with ‘Chasing Cars’ as this is our recording project. So far there are no submissions but we chatted today and agreed to keep the deadline and see how we get on. SATURDAY MIDNIGHT PLEASE! You can sing as many parts as you like!!! Go mad! Do them all!!!

‘Heaven is a place on Earth’ what a cracking song! Loved the energy with this one too.

‘Fix You’ was an emotional one today – well done for getting through it. If it didn’t tug at your heartstrings quite enough, check out the video we made with the ICU Liberty SIngers earlier this year….

We are still fundraising for ICU staff if anyone feels they’d like to contribute or share amongst their contacts.

We quickly lifted the mood with ‘Mr Brightside’ and ‘Waterloo’.

I’m plotting an enormous recording project for all Liberty SIngers. Our next session will start the process of learning ‘2000 Miles’ which I plan to create a virtual recording with. It will include you, The ICU Liberty SIngers, The Skincredible Liberty Singers, The Hillarys Liberty Singers and The West Bridgford Liberty Singers. This could be 200 voices all together. I can’t wait!!!!

Ooohhh we had lovely sessions today! We sang through all of the songs and did a little kari-ography too. The poll was interesting…

Next time, we’ll do a little more of the quicker songs – Mr Brightside and Moves Like Jagger.

DEADLINE FOR RECORDING CHASING CARS IS SATURDAY 30TH OCTOBER (MIDNIGHT) I mix on Sundays x

Check out the audio at 32 minutes!!! Happy Birthday Victoria!!!

Lovely to see you all tonight everyone xxxx Here’s what we got up to.

We did the Mika Grace Kelly Harmony Challenge which was…. hilarious!

‘Chasing Cars’ – a really brief whip through the harmonies but lots of chat about the articulation and not holding on to the letter ssssss in places. This is the recording project and the conducting videos are already up on the website with the folders to save your audio files to!

‘With or without you’ – we worked on the harmony from ‘my hands are tied’ – there’s some singing octaves apart – watch out reds, it’s quite high! It’s a really lovely version of the song – hope you liked it.

‘Fix You’ beautiful song. Love it. We just had a sing through of this tonight.

‘Eternal Flame’ again another sing through …..

‘Waterloo’ we’d learned the low harmony for this last times sang along to the 2 part version

Here’s what we liked….

I was particularly impressed with the pets who joined us tonight. Thank you Saffron (the dog), Bjorn (the cat) and Rosie (the cat) who apparently taps at the window to be let in when Helen is singing!! How cute!

We also chatted about having some more upbeat songs for the next session which is next Wednesday in the morning x I’ll find some Liberty Bangers for you.

Ooohhh what a lovely session today!

We did some bonkers dancing (thanks to Adam for the new ‘walk like an Egyptian’ move!) and a bit of breathing with the plastic toy – love this.

We sang ‘Waterloo’ briefly recapping the two parts – we think this may have been a song to jive or quickstep to (lots of Strictly chat going on this morning)

‘Chasing Cars’ was next which was lovely followed by ‘Eternal Flame’ (both likely to be rhumbas if we are still chatting about Strictly….)

We finished with a rousing ‘Paradise’ (cha cha cha!) to really brighten our day!

Our next recording project will be ‘Chasing Cars’ and we’ll pick through the detail in this at our next session on Wednesday 6th October 8-9pm.

And we’ll also be using this as a warm up…. good luck!

Ooohhhh lovely to see some familiar faces again today!

We had a lovely tongue twister warm up about Emma Raducanu to the tune of chitty chitty bang bang…. check it out on the recording! We sang through ‘Eternal Flame’, ‘With or Without You’, ‘Chasing Cars’ and we worked on the lower harmonies in ‘Waterloo’. It’s not that low – in fact most of you can probably manage it!

We have a rest next week then we are back for a morning session on 29th September. I’d like to look at a new recording after that session so that we can devote some time to that at the next session.

Have a great couple of weeks!!!
