And we're off. The Summer break feels like a distant memory now. After a gorgeous weekend in Bordeaux, we've been back in England this week, rehearsing our Great American Songbook repertoire for two concerts this weekend: one in the Nikolaisaal here in Potsdam with the Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg tonight, and one a cappella in Brno tomorrow, in the South of the Czech Republic.Getting used to a new member in a group as small as ours is always an exciting experience, if slightly daunting too. Paul performed our repertoire from the Great American Songbook in such a distinct way, that it's slightly unnerving to hear something different from down the line as we perform the music in these concerts. I know the experience will be a strange one for Jules too. Preparing the music with our recording, you hear just one performance over and over again. In reality, every performance is slightly different, which means that you have to work out exactly how you're going to slot in afresh every time. What I can say is that Jules is doing an excellent job, and that he sounds fantastic. Something I hope you'll be able to hear for yourself if you're coming to one of our two shows this weekend.If you'd like know more about what it's like to join The King's Singers, and what the challenges are when a new member joins an ensemble, then please don't forget to join our first ever Google Hangout next Saturday, where Jules and I will be talking about exactly this (perhaps with some extra material thrown in...). We'll be in Saint Petersburg, Russia (just in case you thought we might have been in Florida), and the Hangout will start at 19:00 local time in Saint Petersburg (so 17:00 in the UK, 12:00 Eastern Standard Time in the US (I think) - please check what time that is wherever you are), so we hope to see you then! All the information will be available in our Ensemble Hub, which you can find if you click on the Menu icon in the top right-hand corner.Finally, many of you will know that I suffer from an obsession with Japanese food. Tim and I had some excellent sushi last night, here in Potsdam, and here's me below, brandishing the weapon that soon destroyed all the raw fish and wasabi that appeared in front of me. I'm about to go for a run to burn it off.
