Club Half As Small As You, Health

The power of song

7 Comments

Remember me telling you about this singing group?

I go past them on my walk every Saturday.

They meet around 9am outside The Blue Duck (this is the cafe in front of which Ken Crew was killed by a shark – remember that?)

Well today instead of power walking past them (*snorts* at thought of actually power walking), I turned around and went back to ask them who they were and why they sang every Saturday.

Turns out they are the Perth Ukelele Club and they have been going about 18 months.  It started with three people and gradually people joined and now they have quite a healthy group going.

They love the ukelele because it’s a really easy (apparently) instrument to play and quite a cheap one too – about $25.

The organiser – who wasn’t there today – has collected a song book of songs with the chords and they take turns to choose a song.

Obviously singing voice doesn’t matter.  Nor did sweaty attire from walking 5Ks.

While I was working out whether to stay and prove to them I couldn’t sing or continue on my walk one of the group told this story.  She is a doctor and works in Emergency and this week she used singing to help cure someone:

So did I stay?

Of course!  We sang Bad Moon Rising, Bye Bye Love, Let it be, I have a dream, California Dreaming (harder than you think!) and many others.

Afterwards I walked home with a lighter step.

And I’m half convinced to buy us all ukeleles for Christmas.

Last night we had the final rehearsal for our choir. In one of the pieces we are joined by the Shine choir – a group of people with various disabilities and fantastic abilities including being able to sing over the top of a 120 strong choir. They have a blind pianist who is brilliant too.

We sing Shine On together starting really softly with a soloist from the Shine choir, gradually we build and last night I must say I got really emotional at the point we all really sung out. I don’t know why exactly but it just felt so special. I could hardly sing. (Which wasn’t good as that was when we were supposed to be loud!)

Our performance is Friday night in Forrest Place. The program starts at 6.30pm and we’re on at 7.20pm. We’ll be wearing bright red tee-shirts and big smiles. I had a listen to some of the recordings and we sound pretty good if I do say so myself. Amazingly good if you consider we only had 7 rehearsals.

So, if you’re in Perth, come on down and see us sing in the city! I’ll be second row from the back. 🙂
