Practise for both songs have been happening all day today. Every break and lunch has been taken up with rehearsals and a flurry of activity. With these practises, it seems that 'Jail House Rock' has finally come together and is now of a high standard.
However, there was a disaster at lunch. Whilst tuning his guitar from 'Jail House Rock' to 'Iris', Nick Bond's 'g' string broke (not like that!). Mr Bradley has rushed off into Reading to buy a new string and frantic calls have been made to parents in order to bring in new guitars that Nick could possibly play. But, both songs are sounding brilliant and we have a good chance of winning both songs.
Let's hope a new guitar is able to be found that Nick can play and good luck to everyone taking part this year. It has been a phoenomenal effort on everyone's behalf and Skipwith will be happy with whatever position they get. As they say "It's the taking part that counts." But, as I like to say, "Taking part is no where near as good as winning..." Come on Skipwith!
