Choir News and Updates from ~The Phoenix ~

Join In, Talk To Another, or Be Kind...

26/2/2020

One of our 'reasons to be' is to be a place for men to come along, join in, be with other like-minded men, facilitate a singing hobby and pastime, and to generally have a bit of fun, whilst being serious about the quality of our performances.  That's why we don't insist you pass an audition for membership, we don't insist you have to be able to read music score to join us and we put the emphasis upon inviting men to join us because they will enjoy what we do, rather than have to be good at it in the first place.  We are proud of that.

Nevertheless, the benefits of joining a choir also include the sense of well-being that often comes from sociability, not isolation, and a sense of purpose and self-worth.  Our individual members benefit from membership personally in so many different ways, none of which have to be publicly displayed on a notice board.

Those ideally better placed will try to explain in the passing weeks and months why, when needed most, TV personality Caroline Flack, of our County, felt bereft of support.  A good starting point might be that the Magistrates' Court should consider the vulnerability of the accused person nearer the start of the proceedings, rather than later, as now.

Whatever, this tragedy demands an enduring legacy.

Anyone who needs the support of others should feel able to seek that support and should be able to freely talk to others.   Everyone, approached for support or not, has the duty as a regular human being to be kind.

Twitter influencer of the London Tube network @allontheboard offers the most touching of tributes.

Caroline Flack (1979-2020)

As the sun sets on an island of love, you will shine on forever in a paradise above.
Rest In Peace Caroline.

Altered Images ...

We understand it if you are a Clare Grogan fan hankering back to the New Wave days of the 1980s (as good as they might have been!), but despite our heading here, please don't get too excited...  ...because today's item from The Phoenix's Blogsphere is all about the 'official' 10th Anniversary Year look for Norwich's very own birthday 'boy band' and the 'birthday banners' on our publicity this special year!

Hopefully you approve...   ...and will kindly look out for our 2020 10th Anniversary Concert Season Brochure in an Arts, Entertainment and Information Leaflet Rack near you, as well as our individual Concert publicity as it happens.  We're detailing our 'Spring into Song!' Concerts as we write, with some advance ticket options already available and an announcement regarding a local box office for Aylsham very soon.

So it's Altered Images all round - stand by for a quick chorus...   ..."Happy Birthday!  Happy Birthday!..."

    (t)Witterings from the Choir's Webmaster, The Phoenix, but it's normally about what we are going to be or have been up to, something nice about someone we have sung with, or a gracious reply to one of your own wonderful comments.
