Fast Favourites: Fiona McDonald – the joy of singalongs

Fiona McDonald, of Headless Chickens and Strawpeople fame, started Singalong with Fiona McDonald after being inspired by a ukulele group session. She booked a venue for 200 people not knowing if anyone would show up; seventy did, and by the end of the first night she says she was addicted. Armed with a ukulele and a screen of lyrics, she leads rooms full of strangers through songs chosen for their singalong power rather than personal taste. Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart doesn't make the cut, but Tom Jones's Delilah does. She joins Culture 101 for Fast Favourites.
