Next One Song Sing – Timberlake! Sunday 3 November 2019

Feel and celebrate the power of singing with others with Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop The Feeling! Let’s hope Babylon can also support the moving bodies that this song will generate. Jane is rapt. Mark is dubious, but one billion Youtube views CANNOT be wrong. Just Dance Dance Dance in three part One Song Sing harmony. YOU CAN’T STOP THE FEELING!

Tix on the pic.
