Here we all are in silhouette...

I last visited the Barberettes in Reading 26 years ago, and I think I may have been the only person there on Saturday who remembered the event. I had been sent there by LABBS to coach, shortly before I certified as a judge in the Music Category, and I recall I had recently decided it would be useful to be able to sing what we now call an Icicle 7thin a descending cascade, a skill I used for the first time on that visit and again on my return visit last weekend. I was right, it is a useful thing to be able to do.
