Radlett’s Singing Circle increased its radius this weekend when they were invited to perform at the Fete de la Musique in Louveciennes, Radlett’s twinned town in France. 25 singers and their families went to Paris to take part in what was a nationwide festival where buskers and musicians took to street corners, parks and boulevards to perform their music.
And at the invitation of the people of Louveciennes, our local Singing Circle became part of that French experience. Bussed from their hotel in the centre of Paris to the village of Louveciennes early on Saturday evening, the singers were welcomed into the community where they performed their own brand of music, slotted amongst teenage rock bands, gospel singers and dance groups during an evening of entertainment and fun. The Singing Circle performed twice to an enthusiastic audience who were very keen to get involved and sing along to the Circle’s wide range of songs that included everything from rounds and harmonies to African and Maori songs – and even some Abba favourites - a selection of which the Singing Circle had recently performed at the Radlett Festival.
On Sunday, with the rest of Paris still waiting to be entertained, The Singing Circle, still in good voice, wound up the festival weekend by performing a busking selection outside the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
