Today

Both Beaumont Care Concerts were happy performances.  We had people crying with emotion at both venues inspired by songs they loved and had fond memories of.

The staff also were great at both places, dancing with the residents, and making sure that everyone had a happy joyous time.  The song selection was great, with most knowing most songs.  They love the high energy songs.  Many thanks to those who made up the SUPers numbers. 

Sandgate Social

Wednesday night should be great.  We now have at least 15 who can make it.  More of course are most welcome.
Sharon and Sammi have selected songs that will be suitable for the Redcliffe Show, and these will form the basis of our playing from now till the Show.
It was a happy day for us players and the audience.

Moreton Bay Boat Club

We may have a date at this venue. 
More details as they come to light.

Some Gig Possibilities

• At BallyCara I had a lady ask for our card, as she has a friend at another similar facility who wants to do what BallyCara does.
• I had a lady request that next time we visit (09 September) that we play Cotton Fields.
• I had a lady ask if we might be interested in a Cancer Council Morning Tea (18 June) 66 Prince Edward Parade Redcliffe.
• Carmine (the BallyCara MC) was chatting after the event (he can chat).He mentioned that they have big crowds in the hall each Monday evening (they have raffles etc). I suggested that we might be considered for one of these evenings and he seemed warm to the idea.  See note above
• Deidre was approached by someone from the Sandgate Uniting Church.  They have an event once a month but a musical morning once a year. This year’s musical morning is from 10 am to midday on Saturday, 15th August. 

Singing Solo

Thanks to those who have expressed concerns about my upcoming op. I should plan on being away for a period of time. To this end I have made a call on solo singing. 

Thank you if you have expressed an interest in singing a solo. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to contribute.

I will be playing and singing until 12 June. From now until I return, I’m keeping the program fairly simple and focusing mainly on ensemble singing rather than individual solos. My aim is to maintain a comfortable and cohesive group sound while I’m away.

Your contributions to the SUPers is genuinely valued, and I’m very pleased to have you as part of the group. To this end I have asked Sharon to come up with a list of 30 songs that she feels confident that SUPers can perform without me being present.  I feel it unlikely I will be fine for the Redcliffe Show.  I also know that, whilst you need me for some songs, there are many you can perform well without me.

I warmly encourage those beginning their musical journey to avail themselves of every opportunity SUPers offers to play.  It doesn’t matter how well you can or cannot play. By being part, relaxing and enjoying the event, you are in fact learning.  It is the way to learn.
