We found out last week that the landord of the pub where the Bedford Ukulele Group practices had us advertised as the star turn of last nights Carol Concert, (our usual practice night.)
What none of us seemed to realise till we turned up last night to a full house was that the Parish Church Choir was also coming along with their amped keybaord and 40 odd choristers :wtf:
After a bit of grumbling and shuffling around it quickly became apparent that all our music was in a different key to theirs so we settled for trading their Xmas carols with our Xmas songs which worked out quite nicely. We even attempted Slade's Merry Xmas Everyone as a waltz in homage to the UOGB which sort of worked though seemed to confuse the audience.
As we ran out of tunes we started "Jingle Up" old favourites, such as "Christmas" Week Hula and "I'm gonna sit right down and write Santa Claus a letter."
Good fun was had by all, (eventually )
Happy Xmas!
