Strawberry Teas Forever
Opening our first outdoor performance with a song that includes the lines “Not a cloud in the sky, Got the sun in my eyes” (Top of The World) was always going to be a risk. This is Glasgow after all! Fortunately for us, however, the sun was indeed in our eyes (hence the dark glasses!) and we avoided the thunder, lightning and torrential rain that hit other parts of Glasgow during the afternoon.
Hold The Bus!
On Saturday 9th June a group of ladies from Dynamic Meladies performed a selection of songs at a charity garden party event. The charity, Mothers Care India, raises money to buy school uniforms for children in India and we were invited to provide entertainment at the event. With 350 tickets sold for the event, this was no small undertaking.
The Big Gig At Big Mouth!

Whose idea was it? The idea that we would like to do a performance, so that we could brush up on songs we had learned previously, and not let them just fade away, and so that we had a target to aim for. Worry that it might have been mine, Val’s and Jo’s. But others agreed.
So here we were. Eight of us. In the Big Mouth Coffee Shop, Dumbarton Road, opposite Kelvinhall Tube Station. 7pm and us due to start at 7.30. Tickets £5 per head, in aid of Alzheimer’s. So we wearing purple and black, because Alzheimer Scotland’s colours are purple and white, and some of us didn’t like white.
Reflections On Singing With Dynamic Meladies
Written by Dynamic Meladies member Joanne.
As 2016 draws to a close I want to share something with you, I discovered in Spring of 2016 the most amazing group of ladies who sing for fun- it’s called Dynamic Meladies, run by the lovely Sheena and Karen.
Having never sung or performed at any stage in my life, and I’m now in my 40s, I found this group by luck, chance or fate, on the internet, and thought it sounded like a fun way to spend 2 hours on a Saturday morning.

Mummy is a little bit stressed.
We know this because we are highly sensitive animals, completely attuned to her every mood; and because, this morning, she tried to put cherry tomatoes in her porridge.
This is because she has a ‘gig’. We’re not sure what that is exactly. Porshy thinks it might be a bit like a visit to the vet- kind of scary beforehand but you feel pretty pleased with yourself after - but I think it’s something to do with where she disappears to on a Saturday morning while we have a lie in with Daddy.
