What’s going on? (November 2020)

 A number of people have been in touch asking what’s going on, so I thought I’d post an update. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in thinking that the rules, guidelines and application of the tier system are at best arbitrary. I am very clear that I do believe that Covid remains a serious problem …

Little Music Makers going live in 2020

I am delighted to be able to announce that live Music Makers sessions will recommence this Thursday. Following on from initial discussions with Ken Flood, the vicar at St Clement’s Church, we’ve got the green light to resume work. Long post alert! Please read the following carefully. These sessions cannot currently be run on the …

Some great parties last week!

Dear all, The shows are going well and we’re really on a roll now. Fab Mouse has been joined by his sister Oregano. Mike the Microphone continues to keep the show on the road. Our bunny, called Bunny, is very good at method acting and playing the role of Peter Rabbit! Mick Jaguar remains a …

Amusing feedback

Dear all, A light hearted look at things this week. It seems that changing over to making the live streams public and searchable/findable on Owen’s Little Music Makers YouTube channel – without the need for links, has hit the spot. We received the following message this week: “I tried to show “x” the live stream …

I mucked up last week!

Dear all, If you were around last Monday you won’t be aware of this but I mucked up the link for Wednesday in the Facebook event. Sorry Wednesday people who couldn’t tune in!

If this all goes on much longer everything will have a name, my daughter will have taken over the show entirely and I’ll be in my dotage somewhere! For the last three weeks we’ve managed to stream live sessions with good audio and …

Music Makers – KBO!!!

Dear all, If you haven’t come across that acronym before it’s from Churchill. He used to suffer from depression, he called it “the Black Dog”. Whenever things got tough he used to say to himself, “KBO, KBO”. It means “Keep B*ggering On”. I don’t know about anyone else but the reality of this situation is …

The show goes on – virtually

Dear all, On we go in the strange virtual world. I’m beginning to miss the physical reality of seeing people. However, all your feedback about what we’re doing keeps us on our toes and is a reminder that we’re not just playing and singing to ourselves in the front room! Please find the links for …

Image Quality – it’s not your connection

Dear all, Right at the bottom of this post you’ll find 3 access links for our virtual sessions next week. Same rules as last week. Let us know if you’re watching from far away so we can give you a shout out. If there’s a birthday we need to cover please let us know about …
