Rich Lee making good use of lockdown! He performed at Rock the Lobster a few times. Funny, weird man! 😂😂😂
This was written last year and recorded in one take at the little studio in Norfolk - it's Vernon playing the guitar obviously! Hope you enjoy it x x x
Wishing a very Happy New Year to you all! 2020 has been a tricky year, but the RTL live sessions and the messages of friendship and support from this group have made such a difference! Looking forward to more 'virtual' music (it's virtually music!) in 2021, and hopefully to seeing and hearing you all in person by the summer. Stay safe and well and keep singing and playing! x x
Text excerpt from local parish newsletter..
During Covid 19 it has been very difficult to find places where musicians can practice and enjoy music together is small groups. As the weather became unsettled and autumn approached, playing in fields and gardens became less attractive and unworkable. They were delighted when Lance Sharpus-Jones arranged for permission for them to come to St Andrews Thursford to practice and play, providing them with a large and airy safe space. In small groups of no more than 6, they spread out across the church connected electronically to keep at a safe distance. Teresa, Ervin and their musical friends have enjoyed many a happy Saturday afternoon there.
With another lockdown looming Teresa realised that her normal music events leading Christmas carols and songs were off the agenda, not just for her but for parishioners too. And so, just before lockdown, she came up with the idea of creating a personalised carol sing-along for parishioners of Thursford. She felt this would also be a nice way of showing appreciation for the use of the church.
Unlike other broadcast carol concerts this was to be performed, filmed and recorded in Thursford Church. So with only Wednesday afternoon free before lockdown, Teresa and Ervin performed as much material as they could, and created a video entitled "Carols at Thursford Church Christmas 2020".
