Aloha Swingaleles I think I’m still suffering from SpringStrum fever. Every time I sit down, I either watch Neville’s videos, singing along with gusto. As we have been doing a few ABBA songs, it seemed like more of a coincidence that channel Seven had a ABBA special on. I wonder if they have been reading our site, or is there an informer in the group. We have the Annual General Meeting coming up as well as one of David Lanes post SpringStrum concerts. This week could you bring the same music as last week.Mick Berghuis See More

Aloha Swingaleles 

After watching Neville’s videos, I can’t wait for the next festival. We’ll ad to our repertoire, and select the best songs. This week could you bring SB 9 and 10, and bring the Abba songs (137 and 138) we rehearsed last week.

My wonderfull Swingaleles

What a great day “SpringStrum” was. Meeting old friends, and making new friends was the order of the day. The variety of bands and artists was incredible. Our Elvis tribute went like a rocket, helped along by Maggie’s compèring  and a surprise appearance of Elvis himself in the persona of Je-Jei. Swingaleles were further represented by the Joy Boys. Gerry and his Pacemakers, Kool Hand Uke and the Jack Russellers. Of course the day wouldn’t have been the…

My dear Swingaleles, this week is the last week before spring strum, so it’ll be a dress rehearsal. Bring Swingaleles book 10 and the songs that we’ve been rehearsing. Volunteers, wear red T-shirts, performers wear the outfits that your band leader requires.

My Dear Swingaleles 

Only one week and five days to go to our Spring Strum Festival, one of the good things that happens in spring. We have some wonderful raffle prizes, thanks to some very generous donors. In readiness could you once again bring SB 9 and 10. Harmonica players could you please make your way to the practice room at 6.15
