Lift your feet up so you won't miss it, Wake up, take advantage, The Tap-Tap is warming up! If your legs are short, get a head start; The best time is now, Don't say you didn't know, Those who are wise are those who lead. Don't let time pass you by, It's time for you to get on board, The Tap-Tap is leaving now, It's time for us to go! Hurry up, walk quickly! Lift your feet up and don't miss it, The Tap-Tap is taking off! Don't fool around, get on! Don't wait, don't stare, Don't joke around, get on! The Tap-Tap might just leave you! Get up! Stand proud! Those of you who know what you want, Those of you with your minds made up, Don't miss a great opportunity To do something for the nation!

So tret ich hie auf einen Stein: Gott grüss mirs zart Jungfräuelein! Und grüss euch Gott allsamt geleich, sie seien arm oder reich, Gott grüss euch all in einer G’mein, darzu auch die klein! So ich ein grüss, die ander nit, so wär ich kein rechter Singer nit! Right pleased am I to join this dance, I hope a beautiful young maiden will give me a garland Then I will be her own So I step up here upon a stone Tender maiden may God greet you and may God greet all here the same, be they poor or rich God greet everyone together here, even the little ones! Because if I greet one and not the other, I would not be a true singer!  Less_link" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">Less

"Love is like a healing dew washing away all hurt". From Lila Flood, arranged by Nickomo. This concert was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the winter are performed at St. Peters by the Waterfront, Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  Less_link" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">Less
