Keeping you up to date with Sing for Fun and its founder Jane Cole.
Another Opening, Another Show!
On a very hot night in the middle of July, the 19th to be exact, the Basingstoke Sing For Fun Choir remained cool and managed to perform their best ever show. Well, that’s what my husband said and he’s seen a few! Everyone looked splendid dressed in black and white and we [...]

We familiarised ourselves with the large stage at Everest College tonight. Jane placed us so that we looked good from an audience perspective, but as we are an undisciplined bunch I’m sure there will be further shuffling before we do the show! As usual the shy retiring violets, like me, bagged the [...]

Tonight I escaped the noise from the Vuvuzelas to enjoy the far more pleasant sound of people singing. We started to learn Imagine by John Lennon, one of my all time favourites, mate, and I’m so excited about performing this song. You can keep your World Cup; I’m looking forward to the [...]

We are half-way through the Sing for Fun course, doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun? I will miss coming to the workshops in the summer and maybe we should start a support group for anyone experiencing withdrawal symptoms! It was bad enough missing a workshop last week, even Jane said she [...]

It was a little too warm at Sing for Fun tonight, even for me. However, we did manage to get some relief from the heat as we sang Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond outside. It was a lovely evening, much cooler in the fresh air, and we even managed to sing [...]

I almost saw stars before my eyes tonight! Actually, I do see stars every Monday night in the shape of my fellow Sing for Funsters. I’m not talking about Channel Five with their interest in us, the chances of me being famous are worse than slim to nil! No, what I mean [...]

We sounded good tonight – didn’t we? I know it’s not very British to sing your own praise, but I’m very proud to be a small part of the Sing for Fun choir. It surprises me how quickly we learn our songs. Take for instance Close Every Door by Andrew Lloyd Webber [...]

Neil Diamond wrote the song we started to learn tonight – Song Sung Blue. I always thought it was called Song Song Blue but of course, Song Sung Blue makes much more sense! It’s a lovely song and I really enjoyed singing it even though we didn’t quite get the harmonies right, [...]

It was ‘Taster’ night tonight at Sing for Fun and even though Deborah and I have already had a huge helping, we went along to join in the fun. Our new venue is the magnificent Everest Community College – what a stunning building! We were welcomed by a friendly receptionist who directed [...]

It was lights, camera, and action tonight at our performance. Two professional camera men filmed our every move for a DVD which we can purchase as a memento. Had I known in advance that they would be filming I would have applied my make-up with a trowel!
I thought it would be nice [...]
