<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I</span></b>t was an emotional evening for many of us, not having sung in front of a paying audience in the hall for more years than we can remember, but the blokes sounded on top form, in part because of the inspiring performance given by our fellow Ashton Keynes singers, the lovely ladies from Siren Sisters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">A</span></b>nd what troopers they are! They were missing one of their regular members and then on the day one of their key ladies was too poorly to perform, but the remaining Sirens still managed to pull out a superb set of close harmony and vibrant vocals, ably assisted by Heather Milnes on piano and with a guest slot from Caroline Harper singing a spine-tingling version of Skyfall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">T</span></b>he hall was rammed, the bar was busy and the "Afters" Pub Singing was one of the best and longest for quite a while.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I</span></b>t was great to be in the Tetbury Goods Shed, back by popular demand, last Saturday, with a pretty much packed out theatre and very appreciative audience. It is a lovely place to sing and a really great team running the place, full of very enthusiastic staff who really got into the "Magnificent Mood" (as you can see below).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">A</span></b>nd it was particularly lovely to be singing with the ladies from The Gulls, all the way from darkest Kernow - they are a joy to behold with their self-proclaimed love of singing together as a tight nit group. Their self-penned "Handbags are a girl's best friend" being a particular highlight amongst many others. We are already looking forward to singing again with them down in Cornwall the next time we venture down there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">W</span></b>ishing them all our Magnificent Love as they were touched by sad news on the Sunday, but we are sure their spirit will carry them through - till the next time ladies, we raise a glass (or two) to your good health! </span><br />
