John and I have decided on a date for Christmas busking…… We are taking the bull by the proverbial horns and calling all fellow Uke-buskers to join us next Monday evening, the 14th of December. We’re going to meet at the usual Ukearist venue of 6 John’s Place for a wee practice before heading up town to the German market at the mound. We’ll then busk around the area and just see how it goes.
It would be good if you could try to get to 6 John’s Place as early as possible, like between 6pm – 6.30pm. If you can’t make the practice but still want to busk with us, no problem, you can meet us there. We’ll probably try to get to the mound for around 7.30pm or so. It won’t be hard to spot us, that’s for sure!
The idea is to do some Christmas songs as well as some of our ‘favourites’. We’ll post a songlist for the Christmas songs at some point tomorrow, so keep checking the site.
Santa hats, full costumes, anything Christmassy (sure that’s not a word!) welcome!
I have a music stand and it’s quite a sturdy one so i’ll bring that. I also have a headlamp that will help us to see the song sheets… Depending on how many people are interested, we might need more music stands so if you have one, please bring it along.
Now, the most important thing of all – in order for this to be possible, we will be relying on decent weather. Decent weather to me means no hurricanes, rain/sleet/snow. If any of these elements are showing face on the day, we might have to call the busking off but that doesn’t mean we still can’t meet at the school and busk to ourselves! I’m sure Sofi’s would welcome some Christmas cheer too….
Gee, what a long posting. So whaddya think folks?
Over and out!
Chris
