Kinderly

Dear All,

VoiceQuad are a good time with us on Monday:

'The choir sounded great...  I passed C9 a couple of times to get a drink etc and some amazing sounds coming from you all!'

Here are some words to help you keep remembering it!

Text:

Kinderly is now my coming

Into this werld with teres and cry

Litel and povere is min having

Britel and sone I falle from hi

Scharpe and strong is my deying

I ne woth whinder schal I       

Foul and stinkande is my roting

On me, Jhesu, you have mercy!

Phonetics:

Kin-der-ly is now me com-ing

Into this world with ter-res and cree

Li-ttel and poo-vre is me hav-ing

Bri-ttel and son-ne-ee-fal-le from hee

Sharp and strong is me dy-ing

Ee nay woth whinder shall ee

Foul and schtink-an-de is me ro-ting

On may Jhe-su you have mercy!

And here's a recording: 

Enjoy!

All Saints' Church Gosforth....a summer sing?

All Saints' Church in Gosforth is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year and as part of the celebratiions there is to be a festival of flowers, art and music over the weekend of Saturday 30th June and Sunday 1st July ( all day Saturday, afternoon only Sunday). During the days the flower festival will be open in church and we hope to have lots of short (20 - 25 minute) musical interludes for the visitors to enjoy while looking at the flowers.


There will be art exhibits in the church hall, refreshments, light lunch on the Saturday and, hopefully, weather permitting, events on the church green, as well as the flower displays for all to enjoy.

If we can muster a balanced choir we could take one of the slots. Can you please let Enid know on em@meikleriggs.org.uk as soon as possible if you are able and would like to take part and, if so, whether you would prefer Saturday morning or afternoon or Sunday afternoon?

Saturday's Concert - St Johns Church, Gateshead

Please arrive ready for rehearsals to start at 4.30pm

We will break at 6.00pm and the concert begins at 7.00pm (will last about an hour and a half)

Post code for St John’s Church is NE9 5RD.  It’s on Church Road Gateshead, which runs between Old Durham Road and Kells Lane.  It has a tall elegant spire and there is plenty of street parking round it.  The main doors are brown and are in the tower under the spire but facing away from the road.

There is some heating and there are toilets.

 We can make tea/coffee between rehearsal and concert so please bring a snack if you want to.

There will be soft drinks and tea/coffee with nibbles in the interval.

After the concert you and partners/ friends are welcome to come to Ruth's house for further refreshment if you don’t need to be rushing off.  Ruth lives at 6 Albert Drive, Low Fell, NE9 6EH.

will show you how to get from church to hers.  Parking in Albert Drive is not good but there will be street parking somewhere around.

It would be really helpful to know if you would like to come to Ruth's so she knows how many glasses to find!
