We will rock you

Last night I made my second appearance as a singer in a choir (not counting school boy times).

It occurred during the Roger Jones musical "Rock" which is touring the South west. This is a semi-professional set up who augment each performance with a local choir.

This means that for the last 3 months we've been practicing singing the 16 songs so that come last night we look like we've been part of the show all the time! Except that of course everyone in the audience knew that we were only performing that evening.

The musical is based on the story of Simon Peter (the one in the New Testament) and the show was excellent, with good acting, singing and music. The music was a professionally produced backing track, with some live instruments and the staging, sound and lighting were all again of a semi-professional standing.

It was a pleasure to be a small part in such a great production.
