Now is your chance. We are looking to start the "Our Barnet Community Choir". Who says the devil has all of the best tunes. We will be holding a rehearsal and recording session on Saturday 30th November at Mill Hill Music Complex (Click Here for Directions)
Local Disabled rights campaigner John Sullivan has written a reworked version of the song Sixteen Tons by Tenessee Earl Ford
Have a listen to this. If you think you could handle the melody and learn the lyrics, then come on down on Saturday at 2pm. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a singer, why not come down and take part. To cover the cost of the studio and to pay for some refreshments, we are asking for a £5 donation (although this is not compulsory). It is a great chance to experience a commercial recording studio in operation. We are especially keen to have choir members who have been affected by the cuts and have a story to tell, so members from the disabled community and other affected residents are more than welcome.
If you are a male Bass voice or a female soprano, you will be welcome. We are particularly looking for singers to join in on the Chorus. If you are a budding choirmaster get in touch as we are looking for someone to take the Our Barnet Community Choir forward. It will be a lot of fun and we are videoing the recording session. Who knows, we may even get the choir to do an Xmas performance outside the Town Hall.
The 16 Mill
In Barnet Capita have
taken control,
They now control the residents body and soul
For many of us it's been
a bitter pill,
To be forced out of Barnet into Capitaville
Chorus
They hand over 16mil an what do you get.
Silence from Tories
and deeper in debt
St Peter don't you call us cos we can't go
They sold our soul to
the Capita Store.
Before the contract signing
Capita were going to pay
But after the signing
its gone the other way.
Capita were supposed
to invest the mils
But now Barnet
residents, are footing the bills.
Chorus
They hand over 16 mil an what do you get
Silence from Tories, and deeper in debt
St Peter don't you call us cos we can't go
They sold our soul to the Capita store.
The contract was
hidden where the sun doesn't shine
Not read by Cornelius
before he chose to sign
Now councillors are
silent about our 16mil
They have recently invested in Capitaville.
Chorus
They hand over 16 mil an what do you get
Silence from the Tories and deeper in debt
St Peter don't you call us cos we can't go
They sold our soul to the Capita store.
No consultation with
Barnet residents
Has led to wide
spread discontent.
And now we have to
swallow another bitter pill
Cos their aint no
questions allowed in Capitaville
Chorus
They hand over 16 mil an what do you get
Silence from the Tories and deeper in debt
St Peter don't you call us cos we can't go
They sold our soul, to the Capita store
If you see Capita
coming better step aside.
A lot of services didn't
and those services died
They have fists of
iron to enforce their deal
And if the right one don't
deprive you then the left one will
Chorus
They hand over 16mil an what do you get
Silence from Tories, and deeper in debt
St Peter dont you call us cos we can't go
They so-----ld our so----ul
to the Capita store.
