The evening started with nine members of the Society having a first play-through of Leonard Bernstein’s ‘I Feel Pretty’ from West Side Story, and another look at Somethin’ Stupid by Carson Parks.
Then we worked on Adiemus by Karl Jenkins, arranged and led by Georgie Rogers.
We played Cantilena also by Karl Jenkins but arranged by Ray Burley.
More time was spent on Palladio, also by Karl Jenkins.
In the interval David offered out refreshments which included some Christmas treats ahead of the season!
During our sessions, players are invited to play a solo if they should wish. Tonight we were entertained with the following:
| Tom and Cornelius | Gnossienne Nos.1 and 2 (Erik Satie) |
| Simon | Albatros (Peter Green) |
| Georgie | Omaggio a Szymanowski (Leo Brouwer) |
In the time remaining, we worked on Palladio again,
Our sessions are held on the third Saturday of each month, from 6.30 pm, to start playing at 6.45.
Our next session is on Saturday 21st December, just ahead of Christmas so the focus will be on Christmas music. The first session of the New Year will be on Saturday 18th January. Why not make a New Year’s Resolution to pick up your guitar and come along and join us – we are here for you.
