Chair: WT Venue: Golden Lane Time: 18.45 for 19.00 start Attendees: JB, SC, RM, MX, MR, CS, LS, PS, WT, PV, RS, Felicia Apologies: Victoria Warm Up Rob did his usual warm up and got all our cockles cosy. Fum Fum Fum (warm up song) Timing much improved on this one. There were some mutterings re the pronunciation of fum. It’s definitely “foom” and not “fumm”. Please everyone listen carefully to the robots for the timing of the final “fum fum fum” as we’re still not getting it right. Heartbeat Rhythm Not bad first outing for this one, with Marcus Continue reading Minutes 15 September 2026→

Wrablers Rehearsal Minutes 08-09-26 Chair: Sandy Attendees:  SC, RM, MR, MX, LS, CS, PS, WT, PV  plus 3 guests for ‘Taster’ session. Apologies: JB, RS Thanks to Robin for taking the warm up session and to Marcus for taking the lead bringing us in and counting across our practice songs as well as guiding us through the body percussion practice..  White Winter Hymnal: Warm up song, sung through twice, no big issues. Need to check with Rob on tempo, breathing and phrasing. Java Jive: Remembered Rob’s instruction to sing a little slower, more sultry. Not too slow though, need to Continue reading Minutes 8 September 2026→

Louli-as-chair Report Report from first the Tasting session (not on minutes which go onto the website)We were joined by 4 Tasters who were given a warm welcome, copies of all songs, name labels and an induction conversation with Max. 3 people came via the leaflets in the Community Centre and were known to each other, the 4th Victoria came via Peter. 1 left in the first half. 2 enthusiastically stayed on and joined in as they could, including with Dance moves and said a friendly goodbye at the end before snacks. We are not sure they will return but they Continue reading Minutes 1 September 2026→

Fun rehearsal with six singers, very good to have Rob S back with us. Music all round generally sharper. Spent 15 minutes of “warm up” song Tourdion: Singing went well. Havana: Rob tightened our phrasing throughout. Especially bars 42-49. Dance: singing went OK, Rob asked basses to pronounce “ts” background more from the abdomen than the mouth. There was no actual body percussion practice; Rob S was asked, and agreed to allocate singers to group 1 and 3 and that we all need to learn group two. In the break, LS and PV practiced group 2. We all agreed to Continue reading Minutes 18 August 2026→

Wrablers Rehearsal Notes   04.08.26 Chair: JB Attendees: JB, SC, RM, CS, MR, PV Apols: RS, WT, LS, PS, MX So, we were 6. Robin warmed us up with one of his inimitable creations. Warm up song – Route 66 – Sang through a couple of times. Delicious harmonies getting tighter. Altos found it easier to hear where we were going wrong without the Sopranos there to distract us! Useful session. White Winter Hymnal – Sounding good. Timings and repeats all sorted now. Colin representing the basses was resolute about staying in the lower register, [sounding like wolves in the Continue reading Minutes 4 August 2026→
