Saturday 2nd April Zoom singaround

Hi all,

The Gorringe Park is being renovated in April and, so, we’re instead going to have a Zoom singaround, before we come back in May with the Brazen Thieves!

A few people had expressed an interest in keeping the online gigs going after lockdown so hopefully might see a few old non-London-based faces!

If you want to join, just download Zoom (if you haven’t already) and then click the link below:

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87076742137…

Meeting ID: 870 7674 2137

Passcode: 4tDfk6

You’ll be placed in a ‘meeting room’ and then I’ll accept your entry to the Zoom meeting.

Trying to avoid gatecrashers – a problem we’ve had a couple times now – so if I don’t know you or someone else can’t vouch for you I might send a message to you before accepting you just to check.

We’ll be hosting the Zoom meeting from 7:30pm – send me a chat message in the application if you want to play/sing a song and I’ll sign you up. Music will kick off at 8pm, just like the normal events. We’ll finish sometime after 11pm.

Check you have “use Original Sound” activated on Zoom. If you have a decent microphone and/or camera, do use it!

Any questions, send a message on 07951163434.
