A quick reminder that our 30th Anniversary Concert is this Saturday. The Melodians have been rehearsing hard and are now looking forward to seeing all their supporters and giving a fantastic performance.
A quick reminder from last year’s annual concert with a performance of the Michael Jackson tune Billie Jean:
We are rehearsing hard at the moment for our 30th Anniversary Concert on 21st October. We will be celebrating with our friends, families and supporters at our base in Henry Cavendish School in Balham. Our annual concert is usually in December and just to remind you of last year’s concert here is one of the favourites from that evening.
Among our A to Z of countries visited, the most unusual country is probably North Korea. In 2004, a small group of 6 were invited to perform at the April Spring Friendship Festival in Pyongyang. This is a video of the Melodians performance at the concert and includes ‘Song of Dear Home’ composed by The Great Leader learnt especially for the event, followed by Danny Boy and Tropical Monsoon composed for the Melodians by the late Mikey Andrews.
The Melodians visited Sri Lanka three times. This video is of a TV performance and interview from 20 years ago.
Continuing our series of interesting visits over the past 30 years – in 2000 the Melodians UK visited Kazakhstan and played on National TV. This is a video of the programme with the slightly unusual presenters (notice the woman asleep on the bed behind them!).
In preparation for our 30th Anniversary concert we have been going through our old VHS recordings. This is from our first overseas trip which was to Russia (Daghestan area). This was our performance of Lezginka which was received with tremendous applause. Hope you enjoy it!
The Melodians were at Cowley Road Carnival yesterday and it was a great day. Here are a few photos and a video from the day.
The Melodians will be playing on stage at the Cowley Road Carnival in Oxford next Sunday 2nd July 12.15 to 13.00. Come and enjoy the Carnival Atmosphere.
