Transition Choir (July 2013)
We also performed "The Witch is Dead' from Hansel and Gretel, plus specially composed pieces by local composers, including "Stay!" by Fiona Clayton. Fiona is a local songwriter winning a national reputation with her band - she performed with the choir too. A local Cumbrian artist, Sue Nelson, also sang with us to a funky version of her song "Singing the Bad Times Down", accompanied by the BlueJam House Band. There were more great newly-composed songs from BlueJam young songwriters. The show went very well and all the schools had a great time. Mr Soulsby had a vital role as he was a conductor. He also co-ordinates the choir and organized the whole show with Mrs Jarman. So I give all the organisers and all the teachers a massive thank you!
Transition Choir is a great opportunity for singers and musicians from any school in the area, and I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of it - I really hope that I can continue to take part next year.
