EVENT INFO
TIMINGS
Soundcheck: 6pm
Doors: 7pm
Concert: 7.30pm
PARKING
Please lift share if possible. Ideally parking at the hall should be for audience members those who really need. For most of us there's plenty of free street parking in the surrounding area.
DRESS CODE
All black (and black folders if needed). Please avoid bringing valuables... but if you have a coat or bag, we'll have a space at the side of the stage to leave things.
SEATS ON STAGE / ACCESS
We'll divide the choir between up on the stage and the floor in front, so in every vocal section you can be at ground level if needed. If you need a chair for the performance just let Paul know. Here's a photo from a previous year so you can see how we'll line up. The concert will be in two 35 minute sets with an interval, where you can have a sit down!
SET LIST
Hopefully most of you will want to sing both sets, but if there are any songs you're unsure of, it's always fine to only do one set or the other! I've tried to put most of the songs we've been working on recently into set one.
SET ONE
1 You Got It
2 Human
3 Bring Him Home 4 I Won't Give Up
5 Lacrimosa
6 Lean On Me
SET TWO
1 Take Me Home Country Roads
2 Something Inside So Strong
3 Fix You
4 Oh Happy Day
5 I'm Still Standing
6 Like A Prayer
ALSO... Paul will also lead sing-alongs of Bella Mama & Ziwele Mama at some point. You don't need to know these in advance.
FOOD / DRINK / TABLES / AUDIENCE ETC
The event will be table seated. There'll be a bar running all evening with all profits going to charity.

Quick Note: Some of our tenors have sung alto on some songs (Simon / John etc). This gig: Bring Him Home, Human, I Won't Give Up and I'm Still Standing (basically the melody) would be great if you guys fancy doing the alto parts. It's fine to do some and not others. Or if you don't feel ready then no pressure. You can always stick with your usual parts.
