STOP PRESS!
Phil Read, he of the Spooky Men's Chorale, Fistful of Spookies and Manchoir fame, has kindly offered to reprise the piece Sweetest Kick in the heart - this is a beautiful song by the Spookmeister himself, Mr Stephen Tabener, and is well known to blokes so we will try to sneak in a quick run through ahead of the Cabaret.

It's a mad idea, there isn't much time, it requires a bit of effort by those taking part but it might just work.... So, how do you #getmensinging?
One of the biggest problem is time and place, so let's shrink those.
The idea is simple enough.
But the blokes could be all over the country . . . and there isn't much time, so let's get them together via the Internet, via shared documents and rehearsing using some practice piece recordings, then bring them together at the weekend and see what happens.

- Get a group of Blokes together with a Workshop leader or two,
- Get them to work on a piece and then
- Perform it at the BlokeFest Cabaret.

All we need is a few Blokes who are up for spending an hour or two in preparation then then a short rehearsal at the event.
You can use word sheets to remind you of the words so you don't need to memorise them although so much the better if you can. This worked fantastically well at BlokeFest 2015, 2016 & 2017 so we are looking to do it again with the wonderful Roger Jackson, BlokeFest veteran and BlokeSong guru and choir leader offering his immense talents to make it all happen. And all you have to do is follow this link to register your interest and you will gain access to the "secret" page where this year's CyberSinging Goodies are hiding. Then it is down to you to have a listen, inwardly digest and turn up at the weekend ready to join in the fun! But warning... it is a complete "ear worm"... |
