Yesterday evening I was in need of some stress free relaxation. A random Facebook thingy prompted me to look for some a cappella music and stirred memories for me.
Many. many years ago, when I was at Spring Harvest one year (Skegness, I seem to remember) in the Big Top, there was a 'slot' by an a cappella group called 'Glad'.
Well, it knocked our socks off. They had a standing ovation which, I gather, was the first ever standing ovation at Spring Harvest. They were a great act, so well received that the next night they gave what amounted to a concert and the tent was absolutely crowded. Well, I say a tent but it seated thousands. I queued early and got a great view.
I bought their CD but have lost it or lent it out since, but after indulging in You Tube last night, I think I must search Amazon.
If it is your kind of thing here are some links.

And while I am on the subject . . .
Does anyone remember the incomparable Swingle Singers?

Were any of you at Spring Harvest the year Glad entered the Big Top and blew the roof off?
Hoping all the links work . . .
