Enigma’s Silver Sound…

Well what can we say? ….. it was such a brilliant convention – very good venue, lots of laughs, rather good shopping nearby – and a Quartet Silver medal and a Chorus Silver medal into the bargain!!

Our congratulations to The White Rosettes and to Finesse on their Gold performances – we hope you enjoy your championship year! Our congratulations also go to Green Street Blues and Miss Demeanour on Bronze, and to all other choruses and quartets who received awards. But really, everybody who competed, in whatever capacity, is a winner just for getting up on that stage!

As we explained (in detail!) on the Sunday show, we’ve had a number of obstacles in the life of Enigma (mostly medical – not that we’re hypochondriacs or anything!) and had only decided 3 weeks before that we would definitely get back up on the competition stage. It was hard work as we also needed to fully support singing with Signature (we constitute 3/5ths of Signature’s Bass section!), but after the dreadful year we’ve had, we decided to compete to cheer ourselves up – that was until Steph’s caravan was stolen the week before, then Steph fell over the plastic horse at the Convention centre, then Steph fell into her suitcase…………wait a minute, did we say cheer ourselves up…??

And so the singing continues, with numerous gigs leading up to Christmas (oh no, not carols again!) and on into the New Year. We can of course offer coaching to any quartet or chorus – although you might want to take out insurance against us breaking something or losing a body part!! Just contact us here. (thanks, Louis, for designing such a great web site!)

Thank you to all those who have supported us, encouraged us and coached us, especially to our families (who never know whether we’re having a quartet rehearsal or whether one of us is in hospital!!), and to our fabulous chorus, Signature. Also a special mention to Mike Warner who helps us ‘believe’ the songs we sing.

We’ll see you around…
With love
Sue, Rowena. Sue & Steph
