Hi there buskers,
The day of the first musical meeting will soon be upon us
and it’s time to start learning the songs. I’m including links to the chords
and words that we’ll be using below so that you can familiarise yourselves with
these. As long as most of you are familiar with the chord shapes for the main
bits of the song, and the main melody we’ll be able to work from there. Whilst
I think all the songs below are great, they also work well as
acoustic-busky-sing-alongs which is the main thing
Dreaming of you
A lovely fairly short jaunty number from The Coral. The nice
bit here is that we can split into two groups. One group will sing the main
vocal with Warren, and the second group will sing the bits in brackets. There
is a little bit that’s not in the music (those of you that know the song will
spot it, but it only needs one or two instruments to play and extra 2 chords at
the end of the chorus)
Below is a video of the buskers on bikes (Warren and I included) playing this in a
friend’s Kitchen
Make me smile (Come
up and see me)
In a break a break from the style of the original... this
one works really well as a waltz (1,2,3..1,2,3) and again has a lovely split in
the vocals that will work well as a group sing-along
Going up country
This is an extra one
to learn because it’s quick and it’s easy. 12 bar blues in A. Which is A, D and
E.
Lastly but not
leastly Sophie Holloway is still storming out in the lead with £230 raised so
far. Glen Orford is very close behind on £220.99. After that there is a little
bit of a gap with Ryan and I just breaking the £100 mark. Great work all of you
so far. Little by little we’re getting there. There are still a few of you with
tickets that haven’t got your just giving sites set up yet. Please get in touch
if you are having problems with this.
See you at the social
bikers!!
Dominic
