Well, we are getting nearer and nearer to the 2nd of September which is our Showcase Day. We are delighted that the Provost of Edinburgh will be with us along with other guests. If you live in Edinburgh why not come along and find out all the different things that Forget Me Notes have been doing and what we’re going to be doing in the future. The showcase will take place at the St. Bride’s Centre, 10 Orwell Terrace, between 10:45 and 2:15. We will serve refreshments at 12:15pm so no need to bring lunch.
In the evening of the Showcase, we will be holding a 50’s/60’s evening with a live band and live music both to sing and dance too. We start at 6:30 and finish at 9pm and the tickets are £10. You can buy the tickets on Eventbrite or get paper tickets at any of our events. I am not very good at Eventbrite so I will ask Libby to put the link on Facebook. This will mean you access your ticket there. We have a great band of musicians, so I think we are in for a great night.
If you are wondering how the new group went on Wednesday it was brilliant. We didn’t have many in the actual group but those that were there had a great time. We also got a chance to sing for those in the Café and the Library. This created interest that we hope will mean more people will come to see us next week.
On Thursday we were in Saughton Park, the great thing about these sessions is that people turn up and sing with us on a regular basis. I think we must have had nearly fifty people there on Thursday and it was great fun.
Friday saw us at Craighall. One of the residents who just a few months ago was confined to bed and unable to move without support was up dancing to Rock Around the Clock. It was wonderful to see, and we left with a spring in our step.
If you are not doing anything on Thursday between 5pm and 6pm, why not come to the Mound? We are singing as part of the Fringe, and your support would be most welcomed. We are going to be doing some great songs including Sweet Caroline, so why not come and lend your voice to what will be a great afternoon.
If you live in Edinburgh, then we will look out for you. Whatever you’re doing this week I hope you have a great week.
