Ten singers socially distanced themselves in the John Harvey Tavern but the singing produced some close harmonies. Alex joined us for the first time, having found us on-line during lockdown, so we hope that he found our style suits him. We started with "Country Life" to get us going and visited "Ladies Go Dancing" and "Home Lads Home" as a reminder of the November Commemorations. Then it was straight into as many of the songs on the set list for WDLM event on 4th December as we could: "Sweet Chiming Bells", "Hark The Herald Angels Sing", "The Angel Gabriel", "I Heard a Bird Sing", "The Copper’s Christmas Song", "The Holly Bears a Berry", "Righteous Joseph", "Masters In This Hall", and "Poor Froze-Out Gardeners" and finishing with a run through of "The Parting Song" and finally "Thousands or More" as the Pub closes at 9 pm these days.
(Footnote: The Brighton Pub Carols have decided to have two sessions this year and walk the streets of Hanover on Saturday 18th and near the Level on Tuesday 21st December, but you need to register your intention to participate via Facebook; obviously no rehearsals.)
