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.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
