Walking On Sunshine ~ PMZ All Choice Tuesday
Today’s All Choice Tuesday is brought to you by Anna Batson (Creativity & Learning Director / Music Leader) with her own version of this very well-known upbeat song.
This song is especially dedicated to Diane at ‘The Rise’ who said that it’s the song that always makes her go mad on the dancefloor – ‘you’d have to drag me off!’ and who says that for her ‘sunshine awakens life and warmth to your face, warming your bones’….so here’s Anna with a version of it that will hopefully at the very least bring a little warmth and sunshine to your ears today.
‘Walking on Sunshine’ was written by Kimberley Rew for ‘Katrina and the Waves’ 1983 album by that name, and was released as a single in both 1985 and re-issued in 1996.
Request your favourite song in the comments along with a little explanation why you chose that song. 😎🎤🎵

As Time Goes By ~ PMZ All Choice Tuesday
Today's #AllChoiceTuesday request is 'As Time Goes By' and Charlie & Margaret's words say it all :
"Our song choice really underpins all the reasons we got together in the first place. Life has thrown us some massively curved balls but those reasons are still there. As that other song says - 'love, love changes everything.' We so miss you all - can’t wait to get back!" Charlie and Margaret

Wild Mountain Thyme ~ PMZ Anna Batson
People all over the world have been sharing their music online during lockdown, making in lots of amazing ways. Here's a little offering from us to you today...
Anna Batson (Music Leader / Creativity & Learning Director) has been experimenting for the first time with some vocal layering using a clever little iOS app called 'Acapella' which allows you to create videos of these harmonies being built up. This can be done with instruments too.
We are not currently able to be together in the same spaces, but we can still share our love of music, harmony, and....the summer IS most definitely coming, the clocks have changed and the wildflowers, little buds and shoots are out there telling us that Mother Nature is truly doing her thing amongst all the sadness and chaos....
We felt that this beautiful folksong may be a lovely thing to share with you today because we can still all be together through music.
So, from us to you with love (the words are below)...xxx
Wild Mountain Thyme (also known as Purple Heather)
Trad. Scottish / Irish
...O the summer time has come and the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go lassie go?
And we'll all go together, to pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather - will ye go lassie go?
I will build my love a bower, by yon cool crystal fountain
And round it I will pile all the wildflowers of the mountain
Will ye go lassie go?
I will range through the wilds and the deep glen so dreamy
And return with their spoils to the bower o' my dearie
Will ye go lassie go?
If my true love (s)he'll not come, then I'll surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme all around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go lassie go?
And we'll all go together, to pull wild mountain thyme all around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go lassie go?
And we'll all go together, to pull wild mountain thyme all around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go lassie go?...

I'd Do Anything ~ PMZ All Choice Tuesday
This week’s All Choice Tuesday is dedicated to Delcie and her late husband Alan. Here’s Anna with her version of the song, complete with clouds! Delcie always tells Anna that it’s “Such a lovely song….but it makes my eyes wet!”
We wish we could be singing this together, but in the meantime, here’s ‘I’d Do Anything’. It was from the 1960 show, ‘Oliver’ and was written by Lionel Bart. Various characters sing it in the show.
We are especially thinking of our lovely friends at Devonport Views and sending a wave to you all!
