As some of you are aware\, a small group of neighbours started singing outside Sunnyside Care Home in Sydenham Aven ue when lockdown started and Elspeth\, who plays her accordion for the gro up\, invited me to come along and play mine. One of the singers I met ther e\, Sarah Macfarlane\, told me she has attended many Liverpool Voice conce rts - including our performance of &lsquo\;The Armed Man&rsquo\;\, and\, o n one occasion Sarah found me doing some much-needed\, last-minute practic e before one of the singalongs\, sitting under the shade of an old tree at the bottom of the road. Our mutual admiration and appreciation of the tre e - got us talking about trees - as you do! \; \;

She told me that she was one of the FOPP - Friends of Princes Park - and I told her about my idea of singing to trees in Sefton Park. Sarah\ , also talked to me about a fundraising initiative that she had set up cal led Give1Get1 Worldwide\, Vaccines for All - its express purpose being to raise money to fund and administer Covid 19 immunisation jabs in countries that haven&rsquo\;t been as fortunate as we. The idea of putting on some form of happening in Princes Park\, linking singing to trees for a paying audience\, whilst raising money for Give1Get1 Worldwide\, was then muted. The Friends of Princes Park are very interested too and have said that the y&rsquo\;re willing to publicise the event - which would be good!

Even though Princes Park isn&rsquo\;t huge\, I realise tha t\, for some\, there could be issues - and I have some suggestions about m anaging these. If you would prefer to remain in a stationary position - as opposed to &lsquo\;promenading&rsquo\; then please let me know. My idea\, at present\, is that we would start and finish at the &lsquo\;Sun-burst g ates&rsquo\; (Devonshire Road end) and take a circular route up towards th e Aigburth Drive entrance\, near the lake and the back of Bellerive Cathol ic College while making various Tree Stops. If it were to rain then the pe rformance would be moved inside a nearby venue.
