Sunday Lunchtime With 12 To The Bar

 —  —

Newark RAFA Club and Venue, Newark, 23a London Road, NG24 1TN

Happy New Year! We’ve done our carolling, opened our presents, eaten our mince pies and Christmas pudding and have even started our Christmas cake too! We’ve stopped up late and sung Auld Lang Syne as well (well, nearly all of us did that – midnight is very, very late for some!)! What a busy bunch of musicians we have all been! We hope you’ve had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too! We had our first rehearsal of the New Year and we are relieved to find that Robin has successfully removed the last piece of mistletoe from his trumpet! We then got down to the rehearsal, with Geoff announcing a stunning set for this gig. There will be numbers from or made famous by Ira and George Gershwin, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Chet Baker, Connie Francis, Glenn Miller, Henry Mancini, Sam Cooke, Perry Como and loads more too. John and Claire will be complimenting us with their awesome vocal numbers and Geoff has promised that he will keep to his New Years resolution of not attempting any more jokes (he’s lasted for five whole days so far)! We look forward to seeing you all there for two hours of brilliant music.
