Not my first rodeo, but on 1 January 2008, this was then by far and away my biggest singing gig. 200 singers, 15 musos, 8 Taiko drummers, 15,000 audients. Woodford Folk Festival Fire Choir, Fire Event. I’m the one in white. No, seriously, I’m just to the right of the water tank of a drum on your left, stage right, arms crossed in the ‘protecting the family jewels’ position. 🙂 Picture: Steve Swayne (Serendigity). http://www.facebook.com/SteveSwaynePhotography
