This is so very inspiring, thank you for sharing it. My singing voice is really rubbish now so I don't even try. Maybe a little song two each day will be something to resolve for the New Year. Bless you for this, Love Polly x

I haven't seen it before Polly and thanks for posting it. Did you see Tony's 'Message in a Bottle ' video last week? Totally inspiring.

Currently in an infective exacerbation and far from singing, even speaking can be a bit dodgy. When I go to the door to call the cat, the call comes out all high-pitched and squeaky.

Will try with some simple one-key songs today. Have lots of fun with the choir.

Yes I did, Tony is such a star and looking forward to walking and who knows singing along with him too in the warmer weather :-)

That was beautiful Polly. I hadn't seen it before, very inspiring and very moving indeed.

It's my intention to join a choir here as soon as I can. Meet some people and use my voice, lungs and breath. Sometimes days go by when I've only spoken to the dog so it's time. In the last couple of years I've noticed when required to sing at a funeral an awful noise comes out.

I'm sure there are beginners choirs around here. I'll also look on YouTube for a lesson of two before I make a total fool of myself.

That clip has given me a shove, thank you xxx

It is great isn't it Peege, and that is what I love about the Ukulele club, do you fancy me coming along in the new year sometime and hopping over the road to Ukulele club for a sing song...you don't have to play, singing is just fine.

And if you are around over the Christmas hols, we can meet up for a cuppa if you like?

Love

Polly

Well, through my tear filled eyes I saw a little miracle, very moving and inspiring. I joined a choir about six months ago and we have performed at two showcases. I thouroughly enjoy singing and believe that it helps with your breathing, certainly your mood is lifted.

I have Bronchiectasis and Tracheobronchomalacia amongst other things but I do not need oxygen, for them to sing whilst connected to 02 concentrators was marvelous.

Bravo the Breathless Choir !
