To paraphrase the refrain from the old song After the Ball:
After the tour is over,
After the castles’ closed –
After the singers’ leaving;
After the music’s gone;
Many a member’s saddened
If you could hear them say –
Many of them are wondering:
What comes next?
What came next was practise, practise, practise for two Christmassy fund-raising events: two hours of serenading shoppers in Victoria Square in Belfast on Sunday 14 December, and the concert at Massereene Golf Club on Friday 19 December.
Apparently despite the vast space of the shopping centre and the hum of shoppers’ voices, we could be heard and were appreciated – we had fun anyway! And our money buckets received donations, which is always a good thing.
