March 2012: 140 Tonics singing 9 songs in 5 languages
Venue: The Roundhouse in Camden
Why have one conductor when you can have two?
It was the only way to overcome the strange setting.
It was something we had never done before - we just went for it.
And it worked!

A party of over 500 visited Blenheim Palace on Sunday 15 June 2014.
Just under half (230) performed a 30 minute programme of songs from the WW1 era in the most magnificent of settings, the rest being our ever-supportive families and friends. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, together with members of their family watched part of the performance.

Highlights from Tonic Extra's 5 star show in Sept 2015
Fighter Command and the Battle for Britain was written by the Kesselman/Barnett duo.
It was commissioned in 2014 and has been performed many times at Bentley Priory Museum.
Sadly, scheduled performances this October are now unlikely to happen.
CDs of the show are still available!

Tonic Choir at Grimsdyke School’s 75th anniversary concert in Sept 2014
One of 3 videos with highlights of this event

including the wonderful kazoos and a Vera Lynn moment
(This video was scheduled for today long before we knew Vera Lynn had passed away)
.. and ..
In 2016 I put together a 16 minute video charting the choir's progress from 2009.
Perhaps one day I will update it to cover recent years.
