and Announcing . . .
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 time to bring them all together before the event, 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.
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.

One of the biggest problem is time and place, so let's shrink those.
The idea is simple enough.
- Get a group of Blokes to work on some material in advance of the weekend so they are familiar with the song
- Get together with a Workshop leader (or more) at the weekend
- Perform it at the BlokeFest Cabaret and any other opportunity

Introducing CyberSinging Maestro... Roger Jackson
This worked fantastically well at BlokeFest 2015, 2016 & 2017 (and so many other years, we've kind of lost track...!), thus we are looking to do it again with the legendary Roger Jackson, BlokeFest veteran and BlokeSong guru and choir leader offering his immense talents to make it all happen. 
Roger has very generously put all the materials you could possibly want together via a series of short videos.
