Like many choirs around the world, we were so sad to have to cancel our March 2020 concert because of the coronavirus lockdown! This was going to be a special one, our first performing together with Clapham Community Choir. Sadly, we had to shut down our rehearsals before the two choirs even got to meet one another.
Both choirs have been having their rehearsals online since then, continuing to meet and sing together (to the extent Zoom allows of course). Our choirs mean a lot to us, and we greatly miss gathering together in person week to week to sing. Until such times as that’s possible again… we decided it was time we made our very own virtual choir video! 🎶 💻
This arrangement of You’ve Got A Friend was learnt and rehearsed entirely online, recorded individually in homes, and brought together via the wonders (/occasional nearly-throwing-it-out-the-window frustrations) of modern technology. We hope you enjoy it, and that it perhaps goes a little way to brightening up some of those dark nights we’re all facing in these very strange times.
When you’re down, and troubled…. try singing. It really helps.
