Amazing choir (Perpetuum Jazzile) uses their hands to simulate storm

The thing I love about singing with choirs is the phenomenal range of music, styles and singers. Take a look at this choir, Perpetuum Jazzile, Slovenia’s only jazz choir, simulating a storm with their fingers, hands and feet, before leading into a chorus with strong African themes.

Lieber Herr Kopp
Ich möchte mich im Namen der Basildon Choral Society bei Ihnen dafür bedanken, daß wir in der vorletzen Woche die Möglichkeit hatten, in der Kirche zu singen.
An dem darauffolgenden Mittwoch haben wir auch in der Basilika in Gößweinstein gesungen und insgesamt eine herrliche Woche in Franken verbracht.
Ihr
Geoff Williams
Dear Mr Kopp,
I am writing to you on behalf of Basildon Choral Society to thank you for letting us sing in your church, the week before last.
On the following Wednesday we also sang in the Gößweinstein Basilica and, overall, we spent a marvellous week in Franconia.
Yours,
Geoff Williams
Lieber Herr Williams,
Ich musste ja leider nach einer halben Stunde zu einem Termin – ich habe das Konzert wirklich sehr genossen. Bei einem der Stücke hatte ich Tränen in den Augen, so schön war es. Und viele wollten kommen, konnten aber nicht.
Herzlichen Dank und viele Grüße nach Britain,
Ihr
Chr. Kopp
Dear Mr Williams,
Unfortunately after half-an-hour I had to leave for an appointment – I really enjoyed the concert. During one of the pieces I had tears in my eyes, it was so beautiful. Many people wanted to come but couldn’t.
Many thanks and greetings to Britain.
Yours,
Christian Kopp.

John Randall sent through a selection of pics he snapped at Arundel this year. They’ve all been added to Flickr as well as put in a gallery here. I particularly love the one of the three basses!

These are some of my favourites from the fifty or so pictures of our Bavarian trip so far submitted. You can see the rest by looking at our Flickr photostream! I am sure there are many, many more lovely pictures out there. Why not email them to choirpics@basildonchoral.org? (And tell me you’ve done it so that I can put details of who took them in the description!)
