I sing at weddings mostly. Every other party I go to I nearly always end up singing too but not sure if that counts.

i used to turn down every opportunity to sing in public because of my nerves but now i'm fine. I love it, and I don't have to be asked twice now.

People are always telling me i'm wasted and I should be doing something, and when they ask me why i'm not I can't really say for sure. I'm confident, but i'm not really confident in putting myself out there I think... I don't know!

Currently printing off a ream of material to bring to America in a week, I'm off on a six month tour of the States singing in a quartet.

christmas is a very busy time for singers. I have a band, a folk harmony group, a choir and there's always sessions going on. I do the odd bit of classical singing too. weddings ans such.

**G.K.** · 30-12-2012, 19:16

I'm going to be involved a few weddings soon, the first ones I've done, should be good.

Got Les Mis, National Festival of Music and a few school gigs lined up already for 2013.

Wish I hadn't already done the Albert Hall gig, that was a great experience.

Barbershop, Doo-Wop (A Cappella), Choral Singing, IMO there's nothing purer than the sound of unaccompanied human voices in sweet harmony.
By the way, I say this as a ham-fisted guitarist and pianist!

Irving Berlin probably the greatest lyricist of them all, with Stephen Sondheim and Sammy Cahn running him close.
"Let's Face The Music And Dance" is my particular favourite.

bluewolf,
Feis!?!...... double erk!
There may be trouble ahead......
