Re: The Underground Can-Can
Hmmm. I have a gig on Sunday 5th June, and was thinking of performing the Underground Can-Can once more as part of that. So if I do make it to Z1 day, should I rehearse it by having a re-run? Or should we hand out hymn-sheets to all, and try to sing it together over our pints and pies?

Re: The Underground Can-Can
Oh, a massed performance would be amazing! I probably won't be there, so is there any chance of recording it?

Re: The Underground Can-Can
Well, the not-so-good news is that we didn't manage to re-run the song at the pub on Z1 day evening - the way things panned out that evening made it a little tricky. Maybe next year. But the good news is...

...you'll be pleased to know I did another performance of the Underground Can-Can yesterday (Sunday 5th June). This was the encore to an hour-long event entitled "Music with Mansell" in the village of Alfold (near Cranleigh, Surrey).Ooh, wasn't expecting a reply so soon before I completed my sentence! Here's the continuation:
The audience numbered about forty, mostly senior citizens. They absolutely LOVED it!!!!

Pleased to hear it! Maybe I'll include it on my next CD. (Did you know I have a CD out now?)RobbieM wrote: The audience numbered about forty, mostly senior citizens. They absolutely LOVED it!!!!
