‘ENIGMA’ news…….

It was an exhausting, but very happy, run up to Christmas for Enigma, with many performances both on our own and with Signature. Thank you to all who invited us on to their shows – we probably managed to sing the few carols we know more times than the average church choir! One weekend consisted of performances on the Saturday matinee, Saturday evening and Sunday evening – at least it meant we were too busy to go shopping which, as you know, is our favourite hobby!!

Of course, there are always opportunities to sing, so the Enigma Christmas dinner consisted of us and partners piling into the local Indian takeaway, ordering a curry, then going around the local houses carol singing (complete with candle lit lantern!) before going back to collect the takeaway! Despite naughty comments about collecting for our dinner, we would like to assure people that we actually collected nearly £60 for Breast Cancer charities!!

The year has already started in an interesting fashion for us, with a performance in a rather large house – so large in fact that, despite us changing and warming up in one of the bedrooms, the host didn’t know we had arrived and was concerned we had got lost!

We have some great singouts coming up, and there are also some potentially very interesting projects in the pipeline for Enigma. We’re also delighted to have been asked to coach some new, and not so new, quartets, which is great, as we have always felt it important to pass on the knowledge that we have gained.

By the time you read this we’ll be well into 2008, but we still wish you all a Happy New Year and hope you all achieve whatever is in your heart this year!

With love
Sue, Steph, Row & Sue
