Your karaoke songs...

I love seeing how older performers gather themselves and do the run up for the tougher notes. There's a kind of gathering hunch, then a slight, instinctive shift of weight onto the back foot, the rising up of the energy inside, then the grip and hold as that gathered energy is changed from physical into aethereal and expelled on the voice.

Youngsters do it too but there's less effort, more fluidity.

It's the love and devotion and meaning all made manifest in the body.

A definite case of stuff you take for granted

A definite case of stuff you take for granted

Yeah…. We’re watching you. That’s what I’m watching. It’s why I’m watching. The fact that you don’t know you do it is part of the beauty.

It’s gorgeous. Moving. Life affirming. Astonishing.

You do it while you can and, hopefully, know when to stop

"Jolene" . I'm not Dolly. I'll never be Dolly. But I love Dolly and it's a great singalong

"Tainted Love" the Soft Cell version. Usually performed with Mr. QofG's. With clapping and everything!

Mrs SFM’s tune is “Crazy” Patsy Cline

I work in Social Care with people with Autism & Learning Disabilities and you wouldn't believe the power of music to communicate and connect.

We have a keyboard wizard in our ranks as well as a couple of vocalists and dancers - all are brilliant!

We run a Music Appreciation session every week which always goes down very well, plus one service user who will basically sing along loudly to anything. It doesn't matter whether he's in tune or not, he just loves it.

Sounds like one of the regulars on our karaoke nights
