Just updated the recording of Make You Feel My Love with yesterday's one. You all sound great! Do please keep the suggestions coming for songs - feel free to do so in this forum, rather than as a PM, as then we can discuss them.

Richard, couldn't tell if the new recording was recorded over the previous one?


Some suggestions for songs.... I'm afraid my taste is somewhat old fashioned!


Isn't she lovely - Stevie Wonder

Thank you for the Music - ABBA

When you say nothing at all - Ronan Keating

Oh do, it is enormous fun. We have a Monday morning clash too but so far the choir has won every time and I don't even have to feel guilty about skipping (play)school as my little boy seems to enjoy it as much as I do. We always end up singing all the way back to West Dulwich, attracting some slightly strange looks.

Yes, do come along scareyt, I think you'll enjoy it.


The new recording replaces the old one on the website. I'll keep updating so that our progress can be followed...


Lots of exciting things happening with Hummy Mummies, watch this space...

I think you all sound great, I really love the toddler ranting in the background of the recordings :) Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to come along until my VERY cheeky toddler has been packed away to nursery- he's an absolute joy but incredibly hard work- and I have a lovely 4mo old too.

HOWEVER, if you ever wanted to record in a studio setting, Mr B has offered up his free of charge :) Yes, really. Not in a dodgy 'I've got a studio in my garage' way, either, he has a post-production editing and recording suite in the west end. He's in 'the trade', so to speak.


Keep up the good work, Mums.

I am just finishing a sewing course but then would love to join in for a couple of weeks before Christmas. You sound really really great! If you are still thinking of new tracks, Wherever you are (the new single just about to be released by the military wives choir) is just beautiful....a real tear jerker!


I'm afraid on my rubbish phone I can't see who was looking for an evening choir earlier in this thread but Camberwell community choir is a new, free, choir open to all. Details at www.musicatstgiles.co.uk (we just rehearse in the church, it's not faith based in case you were wondering).

Oh my goodness I have been listening and re-listening to that Military Wives track after watching the TV series, gives me a lump in my throat every time! Look forward to meeting you at Hummy Mummies soon after your course ends.

I would really like to sing something upbeat and fun! Something that makes you want to move!!!


I really like The Lovecats by The Cure, I reckon that would be loads of fun to sing... I'm also secretly partial to a bit of lady gaga and cee-lo green! Any suggestions from anyone else?

I CANNOT stop humming/singing the songs we've been working on. Really nice to have something to look forward to on Monday mornings!


Ruth, can I encourage you to come along to try it once if you're keen? I was very skeptical that I would be able to do any singing with my 3 year old and 9 month old in situ. But they seem almost stunned into good behaviour that Mum is doing something fun for herself! And the cafe in the church is good value so you can maybe bribe him with a treat after we sing? If it goes terribly wrong we won't judge you if you have to leave halfway through!

Hi Michelle


Well, I run 2 choirs which do that - there's London City Voices which meet at 6.30pm on Wednesdays in the City (finish at 8pm), or there's the Nunhead Community Choir who meet at Ivydale Primary School on a Thursday from 8pm till 9.45pm. The Nunhead Choir have a concert coming up next Sunday (11 Dec), check on the website for details.

Hello fellow Humming Mummies and Richard,

A real test of a mother's love this morning - we will be skipping choir today as Oliver has a stinking cold and cough and a very obnoxious nose which I don't think anyone will thank us for sharing. Have a lovely morning's singing and I will see you all next week.

Lovely sounds yesterday from all the Hummy Mummies. Thank you for coming all you new recruits, you did brilliantly. We had quite a lot of apologies due to sickness, but were in no way depleted in numbers thanks to a new influx of mums. Looking forward to the new year now.


We will have 2 more sessions this year and then break for Christmas. We will start again on 9 Jan at Christchurch, and will hopefully have sorted out another weekly session in West Dulwich too. I'm getting there with rolling this out in other locations as well - will keep you posted.


I'll do a little mail-out later on.

I've been meaning to post to say how much I'm enjoying Hummy Mummies. My seven month old also has a great time, and naps like a trooper afterwards! I've been practising my Cee Lo Green all week, much to everyone's amusement.

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
