Men's Shed Chorale
/Men’s Shed Chorale singing Don’t Fence Me In by Cole Porter
We were so happy to welcome the Men’s Shed Chorale to the Astra to perform for us. What a treat! The group were in fine form and performed wonderfully for us. Hugh was the compere for the afternoon and he was a delight, telling us about the group and about the music they were singing. The program was a mix of genres and decades, from traditional sacred choral music to American classics like ‘Come Fly With Me’ to a spectacular finale including the comical ‘A Place in the Choir’ and the melodic ‘The Way You Look Tonight’. The men sang beautifully, Musical Director Daniel conducted and played the theme to ‘Cinema Paradiso’ on his violin, and the Accompanist Belinda played the piano fabulously. Everyone who came to watch had an amazing time and were thrilled when the singers/players stayed around for a cuppa and a chat afterwards. The biscuits and other snacks went down very well, and cups of tea and coffee were enjoyed by all. Thanks so much to the Men’s Shed Chorale for giving us a lovely afternoon of entertainment and being such great sports. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would love to have the group back again at some point in the future…
