Jenny Completes Wilmslow Half Marathon!


On Sunday 24th March '13 I completed the Wilmslow Half Marathon along with my sister Joanna, raising funds on behalf of community choir - TheFunkyChoir.Com. I managed to complete the course in 2 hours and 14 minutes, not the best time but considering a knee injury which developed within the 2nd mile, a good effort either way.:0) Despite the freezing weather and winds as cold as -4oC, a small group of FunkyChoir supporters stood by pushing us on for the entirety of the race! 

A lot of great people donated to our cause and we would like to say a very big THANK YOU!

Watch this space for an update on our the total amount that we raised! 


Great Night @ TheFunkyChoir.Com - 23/05/2013!

We had a great time @ TheFunkyChoir.Com on 23/05/2013, enjoying a slightly different format of singing before we broke up for half term! We did a mini concert style night, teaming up into smaller groups of 10 and testing out some of our more familiar repertoire i.e. I Believe I Can Fly (R Kelly), To Make You Feel My Love (Adele), Put A Little Love In Your Heart (Annie Lennox and Al Green), Lean On Me (Bill Withers) and I Can't Help Falling In Love With You (UB40).



We went one further with a select group of our more complex songs i.e. Wanna Dance With Somebody (Whitney Houston) and Higher and Higher (Jackie Wilson), reassigning familiar harmony parts to different groups i.e. the Sopranos and Altos swapped with the Tenors or the Altos took the Soprano part, the Sopranos took the Tenor part and the Tenors took the Alto part (OBVIOUSLY IN THE LOWER OCTAVE)! The difference to the overall sound was sometimes amazing and sometimes hit and miss but, in general, a lot of fun!
