Spam Museum & Watertown WI

Well, we were there; four plucky Brits enjoying the wonders of the Spam Museum at Austin, MN
...hope that's given you a flavour of it; careful - don't sample too much!
Very pleased that pride of place as the funniest Spam moment ever was the Spam, spam, spam sketch from Monty Python - how terrific...

Once we had dragged ourselves away from here, it was on to Watertown, WI; sorry Minnesota, we did bring our rain over for you (it had not rained in the state for months until we arrived!), and thus the weather improved as soon as we achieved Wisconsin  - the sun was shining everywhere (to quote our recently-published songbook).

Another excellent concert in Watertown, people friendly, and technical staff great - and the audience sang along in Lion Sleeps Tonight much to their own surprise...

Onwards and south-westwards... Fairfield, Iowa tomorrow...

Blue Earth, MN

Concert no.2 passed off as easily as no.1:- another packed house enjoyed the music of vocal groups past and present. The lighting guy was extraordinarily splendid and well prepared...
...and I must tell you that on this tour we are unveiling our new book of arrangements, as published by our agents, Edition Peters: The Great British a cappella Songbook - I shall surely mention this once more. (We are dead proud of it, after all...)
In this US show we sing Danny Boy and Oranges and Lemons from the book...
