We often have singing at our Bude Memory Café get-togethers, led by "acts" of multifarious genres. Last Friday the band we had did Van the Man's "Brown-eyed Girl," and it was heartening to hear fifty or sixty people of advanced "certain ages" belting out the chorus:

"Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da" (repeated as much as you like!)
