The Day I Went to Abbey Road with Somewhere2Sing Choir

Live For Now - Abbey Road Recording

It's so important to me that everyone can get the most out of my blogs.

For those who find it easier, please feel free to listen to the below recording of this blog

So, in January this year I joined a choir. It's something I have always fancied doing but never quite found the time or the courage to do. When I was six I was in my school choir, we ended up performing in a big competition in Luton Arndale Centre at Christmas time. The memories I have of this experience are still so vivid and so comforting.

You know that feeling you get when you hear a song you absolutely love, being sung by a large group of people... the Goosebumps, that intense shiver down your spine...

well I love that!

Flashmobs, gospel choirs, children singing, barbershop quartets... I love them all!

One evening I was sitting in bed, browsing Facebook, when an advert for Somewhere2Sing Choir came up on my feed. I then browsed more, looking at some of their performances. There was one that stood out, a performance of a song from the Lion King, being performed at a wildlife park... I wanted to be involved in something like that!

Next came a couple of emails and a visit to my local group. I met new friends, an amazing choir leader called Jo, I found a new outlet to manage the stress and mixed emotions of my work and most importantly, I had fun.

Then, later in the year, we were asked if we would like to take part in an opportunity at Abbey Road and of course I signed up. I do however admit to almost backing out last minute through nerves... I'm so glad I didn't.

The video created from the day is above, I really hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed taking part in the recording.

So, If you have ever really fancied doing something, whatever it may be, go do it! Live For Now...

Life is Far too Short!!!
