Charlie Dore & the Milk Roulettes jpegCome and join the Milk Roulettes! And be Charlie Dore’s backing vocals for a night.
On Friday October 16th Charlie Dore is bringing her highly acclaimed new album to the South Devon Arts Centre Totnes.
I am co-ordinating a choir to rehearse 4 or 5 times, and we will perform backing vocals for 2 or 3 of Charlie songs at the end of that night. The parts are relatively simple, and performing with Charlie (and her incredible one man symphony orchestra Julian Littman, from Steeleye Span) is a really fun experience. They are utterly professional, and also very relaxed and great to work with.
We will be the ‘MILK ROULETTES’ (the name of her album is Milk Roulette)
This is Charlie’s iconic hit from the 70s Pilot of the Airwaves, which will be one of the songs we’ll sing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGKrgJZhpzk
Here’s a more recent hit from Charlie – Sleep All Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hv9dN4jh_8
You need to be able to learn and hold a simple harmony part (Bass/Tenor/Alto/Soprano) while the rest of the choir are singing their parts.
No need to read music – but ideally quick to learn through repetition.
If you are available on Oct 16th, and also most of the following dates (for rehearsals) and please share with as many other singers as you like – we can be a big pop up choir!
