Great Denham community ‘reaching out’ at singalong this Saturday

Channel your inner Neil Diamond...

Residents of Great Denham are urged to join their neighbours for a rousing sing song on Saturday as a show of the village’s community spirit.

At 3pm on Saturday 4 April, there will a synchronised sing-along of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline, with residents asked to get involved.

Community organiser, Steve Gallagher said, “Following the successful ‘Clap for the NHS’ and taking inspiration from the Italians who sang from their balconies, we are attempting the #OneVoice Sing Along.

“We want people to take to their door steps, balconies or gardens and sing or play instruments (as bad or as good as you like).

“We want to show how united we are as a community/country and how together, we can get through this unprecedented time with #OneVoice.”

The Great Denham community group ran a poll to choose their social distancing song and Sweet Caroline was the clear winner.

“Whilst we won’t have ‘hands touchin hands’ we will be ‘reaching out’ to spread some ‘good times,” said Steve.
