Three songs for me at the Christmas sing around at The Plough Inn. I opened with While Shepherds Watched, to the original Cranbrook tune, on mandolin. That was an opportunity to get some extra practise in for leading the same song at the Diocesan Global Carol Service in the evening. Next time it was my turn, I went for Good King Wenceslas, also on mandolin. We won’t gather again until after the feast of Stephen (26 Dec) and I enjoy the opportunity to do the voices of the king and his page as well as the overall message of the song. Finally, I did a song on my bass (I had the six string electric with me, also ready for the carol service): God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen.

Lots of other songs from the other musicians too, both seasonal and not. I look forward to rejoining this talented bunch on Saturday 30th December.
