Sing-along Café Thursday, February 5th, 2026

Thank you, Everyone, for a lovely birthday afternoon! It was so beautiful, the cards, the cake, the decorations, everything. I had a wonderful birthday.

Thank you for putting up with me wanting to sing songs that you hadn't heard before, but I hope you liked them. It wasn't easy choosing the songs to sing. I love so many, and I can't rank them. The theme was "Renate's Favourites" because it was my birthday. You'll find them in the list, in case you want to look them up, or find out more about the performers. Robyn suggested doing everyone's birthday like this, so it must have been alright. I usually try to use songs that many people will know, or that are so popular that everone knows. Occasionally, I'll throw in something that I know only one or two of you will know, but this time, I was pretty sure you wouldn't know a few of my songs.

Here are some of the songs I love to sing most, that we sang together yesterday, in alphabetical order:

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing by JJ Heller
Hallelujah (Unplugged) by Oh Wonder
Happy by Pharrell Williams
Happy Together by The Turteles
Mine Forever by Lord Huron
Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra
Next to You by Joya Marteen
Not What I Meant by dodie
Pompeii by Bastille
The Shape of You by Ed Sheeran
Someone Like You by Adele

It was everything, Thanks!

Singing Together in July and August

I posted this on my YRCC blog, and I think it applies to my Trinity Singers too. While we’re not singing together in July and August, please find opportunities to sing in other places and with other people. You can always sing in your car and in your kitchen. You can accept all invitations to cottages, camping, and beach days, and do some campfire singing. Or, sing while you paddle around in a lake. Sound carries over water, so have some buddies join you if you’re not comfortable with a solo performance. Orchestrate some backyard sing-alongs if you can. Singing outdoors in the summer is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. I’ve enjoyed the free concerts in Aurora and Newmarket in the past. They have ‘tribute bands’ who perform all the hits you know, and you’ll want to sing and dance along. (would be nice if they projected the lyrics for us, because we're used to having those words now) I’ve added these concerts to my YRCC Calendar to encourage my choristers to go. I’...

My Singing Nights Start again soon: Sing-along Café Thurs. Sep. 11, 2025

Every Thursday in Newmarket Trinity's Sing-along Café

Every Thursday from 7-8:30 in the Fellowship Room at Trinity on Main in Newmarket. Singing (without microphones, without sheet music, with no pressure or judgement), snacks, conversation, it's an easygoing evening out. And, it's good for your health and well-being. Get off your couch, and sit down on one of ours.
