I hope everyone enjoyed our little photographic interlude - let me know what you thought, and whether you liked it in the middle or would prefer it to tag on the end of the evening perhaps. And if anyone would like to feature in next week's 'Old Favourite' choose a photo off the website from any year that you particularly like and just email me the name/number/description of the photo so I can prepare it to upload next week :)
Take care everyone and stay safe from us all here in Notts!
I was extremely worried and cynical about the choir concert after the rehearsals but it was alright on the night. A very good show which I enjoyed and will remember. Hopefully we will be able to repeat the experience with the Dream Belles - eventually. Sorry about the typos in the last entry. Things keep going wrong this end.
I think Karen sums it up. They were the days. I like these because they show us with practically a full line up and they were a couple of best our performances. Also Bob's phot of us at Melton were excellent
Jon can I ask you to tell us please why you chose these photos and why these are two of your favourite memories, and can I invite everyone else to chip in with their memories of these two events!
Now I want to try something new this week, and if you like it we can do it each week. I want to take a 5 minute break where we stop and look back at some favourite photos from our concerts. I thought as these rehearsals have gone on longer than we anticipated it might be a nice way of reminding ourselves of the good times!!
Great thanks - a real joy. He's settling into a routine and getting used to us. Biggest issue is him not being left alone at night - we have been trying staying up late with him or letting him prowl round the house. Not sure what to other than persevere. Any thoughts?
Night all.

I think we all worked hard - as usual - for that one
You put an awful amount of work in JJ to make it work on the night!!

Would love to do that La la Land song they did, Anther Day Of Sun.

Love the expression on Neil's face!
I think the beer festival was before that
Paperchase, can I borrow your horn, please?
Me to, Liz.
ok here we go
Looking forward to ANY gig!
Dream Belles are in the same state as us
Right, shall we continue - Belvoir Big Band playing Tijuana Taxi - YouTube at 8.14 please
Yes, looking forward to the Dream Belles gig in 2023!!!!
yep fully agree Liz
Surprised how good they were
.. and I think it opened up to us the possibility of doing joint gigs, e.g. with the Dream Belles
It was certainly an interesting experience working alongside the choir!!
Sarah was that your first concert with us at Melton?
thank you
Always nice to play in a hall with a captive audience (especially Derek's Fan Club)

I particularly like the swagger you've got going on there Chris... :)
Both great gigs as I remember
They certainly were two of our best gigs to date...
just need the buzz back
wonderful
Those we’re the days ...ahh
Jon can I ask you to tell us please why you chose these photos and why these are two of your favourite memories, and can I invite everyone else to chip in with their memories of these two events!
I asked Paperchase to go first and he chose these two photos...
Always good to play crowd pleaseres!

ho thanks david
He seems to like beer - don't want him getting into bad habits...
Whisky
Maybe that is the answer!
I am afraid I share my bed with 35kg of dog and at least two cats every night! I am just a softie
Great thanks - a real joy. He's settling into a routine and getting used to us. Biggest issue is him not being left alone at night - we have been trying staying up late with him or letting him prowl round the house. Not sure what to other than persevere. Any thoughts?

If it is he didn’t tell me.
BBC news had a photo of floods in Melton on the weather this morning. Taken by "Bob". Is it the one and only?
Nearly there. All the tiles are back on now so hoping it’s watertight. No way I’d let Bob get involved😀
Our pub has sandbags outside it - once bitten ...
Evening everyone
I’m a bit late just been down the pub——————-or was I just dreaming.
Can we start with Gimme Some Lovin please at 7.30 Gimme Some Lovin | BBB VR - YouTube
Whoops! We found a damp patch near our chimney yesterday which we will have to have fixed, but we think it has been there for a while
Karen is your roof okay now? Is Bob fixing it?
A few flooded areas - enough to make you turn round and go another way.....
No but I had rain coming through the roof this morning!
Usual flooding points round Cotgrave.
Hi everyone who has just joined, hope everyone is staying safe
Carol I hope your family are all okay
