"Yes, we mean this, we shall take care of this land/ sacred place, and do what is right". This is from The OK Chorale's first ever public concert in Woodbridge, SufFolk, UK on 24 March 2012. Not the best of lighting! Also a bit wobbly in places as it was many of the singers' first time in front of an audience. www.chrisrowbury.com

What have we done? We shall meet in heaven This outdoor performance 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 summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  less

Bring us in good ale is a mediaeval drinking Song. The premise of the Song is that the singers (or players) want no food and so they find all sorts of reasons not to eat: they just want good ale!

The Song was written by Kol-Hamishpaha in honor of the 45 soldiers which fell in 1948 in the battle on the Kurikur hill, where today resides Lapid - the place we live. *KOL HAMISHPAHA (Hebrew for "all the family" or "voice of the family") is a family band composed of 2 parents and their 4 children* שיר שנכתב ובוצע ע"י קול-המשפחה ביום הזיכרון 2009 ביישוב לפיד, לכבוד 45 הנופלים במלחמת העצמאות, בקרב על גבעת כוריכור, עליה ממוקם היום היישוב.  less
