Summer Break

Liquorice Singers have begun an enforced early summer break. Work is being carried out at the meeting room where we rehearse and picking our way through builders paraphernalia was proving tricky so we decided to call it a day until they complete the works. An extension is being erected which will house a new office for the Almshouse Trust and additional storage space including a chair store which with luck will give us a little more space. 

We aim to restart singing on 20th August all being well.  
  
New singers are always welcome and remember there are no auditions to worry about.  Hope to see some new faces on 20th August.  Enjoy your summer and keeeeep singing.

Events

I cannot believe it is mid July and my last blog was way back in March.  It seems a little late to be giving feedback regarding the music festival after all this time but we had some lovely comments from the adjudicator who persuaded us to enter a competitive class next time.  We have started our rehearsals for this already!  

We also have a few event dates listed below.  The Thorneycroft Centre have been asking us for a while to come along and perform at one of their functions and it has proved difficult to find a time when we have a full compliment of singers (they will keep going off on holiday).  The summer is now upon us and we are having a break for August so we have arranged a date for September and fingers crossed this will go ahead as planned.

•    6th September 2014    Concert (tbc)
•    18th September 2014  Thorneycroft Centre
•    10th February 2015     Arthritis Care
•    13th March 2015          Pontefract Music Festival

We will also be singing a selection of WW1 songs as part of the WW1 commemoration year during October and November in the Market Square, Pontefract.  So Pack up your Troubles and if you are still A Long Way from Tipperary you might want to come along and join in with Oh it's a Lovely War and if not I'll wish you Goodbyee.
