Modifications to “Roland” our electronic piano:

It would be remiss not to mention or include one of our brilliant pianists/accompanist Pauline Pritchards and this latest development...

Pauline recently arrived at a concert in the family 4x4 fitted with new snazzy alloy wheels – very nice and smart, but not as smart or chic! As Pauline in her concert frocks and dresses.

So what us joker/engineers thought was that we fit alloy wheels with low profile tyres to the tubular frame of both the piano and its stool, it would help our show business image. The plans are on the drawing board with computer aided design. This belle, Pauline will give a recital of the new composition Tubular Wheels (apologies to Mike Oldfield).

Pauline is renamed: Pauline (Alloy Wheels) Pritchards. And this will feature on the concert programmes.
I may regret this modification, Whoops! I’m in trouble. Anybody, got an aspirin? I feel a headache! - coming on. Sorry! Pauline. No I’m not! Yes I am! Grovel, Grovel. Oh Dear! (All subject to the wheel tappers and shunter’s club committee approval).

Music Team:

The choir is very privileged to have these absolute stars, talented, superb, musicians. Pauline Pritchards, Frank Morris, Alan D Jones (Musical Director). The trio give our choir a formidable backing in music presentation that is without equal in male choirs. The choir salute your skills, abilities, especially your patience. With us lot (the choir) you need medals for courage.

You now begin to see nearly all of the situations which the “Music Team” has to handle, including the comedians as well as balance the choir aiming to give maximum performance. One other interference are holidays, which at times complicates choir attendance for concerts. At full compliment we can stage 70 men.

Come see and listen at one of our concerts and enjoy the experience.
