Our regular pianist Gwen Barnes played for all three sessions, and in the third session we introduced Deb Saunders to the group. We are extremely pleased to have Deb on board as our assistant pianist.
Kieran started the year with a variety of Australian songs, whilst Brian Greed chose some favourites including Seeker’s songs, and “The Changing of the Guard”.
Carmyl showed that she is the queen of rounds amongst other things. Carmyl is very precise in organising the rounds, and to hear “Kookaburra Sits in an old Gum Tree” in four parts was very impressive.
Margaret chose “On the Road to Mandalay” and “Wandering the King’s Highway” which were sung with great gusto during her sessions.
The U3A Singing for Fun group have been invited to sing at Cooinda on Thursday 21 March at 10.30am. Cooinda was not able to have us for our end of year concert in December 2023, so have invited us to sing there early this year. It will be a mixture of the songs we did for the End of Year concert last year, as well as songs chosen from Cooinda’s Community Song Book.
The next Singing for Fun session will be on Thursday 7th March at 10am at the Hub at Cooinda.
