I was 17. I was part of the Mission Band. I looked like butter wouldn't melt in my knickers. Hard to believe now I know.

But we were a small company, and all of us sang in the big numbers. I adored Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat. I loved all the company songs, because when you have male and female singers I could switch harmonies when the women went too high (see karaoke thread!)

My other favourite was My Time of Day. Missing from the film, but I got a physical reaction every time Andy (our Sky) sang it. I watched and watched and watched in rehearsal. It's not an easy song to sing. He said he missed me on performance nights - he missed seeing my big eyes and smile when he sang it. And no, that wasn't a line.

ETA - here is is. Audio only.
