Well done everybody!
I loved hearing all your performances of The Donkey, and there really was a huge variety.
In Category 4 there were clip-clopping donkeys, donkeys with strange and exotic chords and donkeys who picked up speed as they neared their destination!
Category 3 was even more inventive, with wonderful added harmonies.
In Category 2, most of you played the song off by heart, and we even had a donkey where the left hand played the right hand part and vice versa. Elaborate and fun!
In Category 1, you stuck to the song as it was written, and you did a really good job, although the timing in the last line caught some of you out!
In each Category, there’s a Winner and a Runner-Up. Winners and Runners-Up all get prizes, which I’ll be giving you this week.

RUNNER-UP: Phil
