Please do not bring a lot of 'stuff' with you - arrive in your outfit with your music folder, water bottle, and a small tote/handbag if required.
​​
​

​
If I Had a Heart​

​
Please wear a smart and tidy outfit that is comprised of at least two colours from black, blue, and white. NO JEANS, NO OTHER COLOURS.​
​
Ladies, for example, might choose to wear a black dress with a white pashmina, or black trousers with a blue and white top. Any shade of blue is fine. Patterns are fine (within the colour scheme).
​
Gentlemen, please wear black trousers with a long-sleeve shirt & tie within the colour scheme.
A plain black, hard-back, two-ring folder to hold all your music. Please ensure it has no stickers down the side. These are available from £2-4 at various high street shops and supermarkets.
​
As little 'stuff' with you as possible - items can be left with audience members or placed in a pile to one side as we go on stage, so needs to be kept to a minimum.
​
A bottle of water/squash to refresh your throat before singing.
