Chichester Local Group Report - Thursday May 18th 2023

As Alan and Ann were way on a well-earned break, it was a small, but select, group that met in Chichester this May. We were very ably led by Dave and we managed, at pace, to work our way through most of the Rustington Museum event set-list Alan had supplied. Beginning with an ever vibrant rendition "Country Life" then moving swiftly on to "When Spring Comes in"; "Rosebuds in June"; "Lammas Carol"; "Field Lies Silent"; "Jim the Carter Lad"; and "Twanky Dillo".  

A refreshment break and well earned breather brought us to the second half - and completion of the list with: "Fathom the Bowl"; "Ale Glorious Ale"; "On Sussex Hills"; "The Smugglers Song"; "My Downland Remembered"; "Come Write Me Down (Sussex Wedding Song)"; "The Turtle Dove"; "Pleasant and Delightful" - and last bit very much not least, "Thousands or More". With time limited we only missed maybe one or two of the best known choices in the set - and even if we say so ourselves, and especially with so few of us there, we sounded pretty good!

Another enjoyable session, and we'll be back for more at the "Chichester Inn" on June 16th.
