Sorry about that!

An excuse to bump this thread up as the concert is approaching.

Has anyone else booked?

We were treated to a wonderful arrangement of It's a sin. I'm shattered now but will type the programme note in this thread tomorrow.

It's A Sin [capitalised in the programme]

Artist: Pet Shop Boys
Music and Lyrics: Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant
Arranged by: Ian Faulkner
Lead Choreographer: Simon Harrison
About: Written in a hymn-like style, It's A Sin is a camp exploration of sex, specifically gay sex, through the lens of a strict religious upbringing. It highlights the tension between a liberated sexuality and guilt. Our arranger, Ian Faulkner, has reimagined this classic in the style of a classical waltz.

It was a super arrangement - not in waltz time throughout by the way. Maybe if the Pink Singers get to perform this again say at a Pride event, I would film or record it, but they are strict with the photography policy at Cadogan Hall.
