Looking Back, Looking Forward

From Monday 12 January 2026

Looking Back, Looking Forward

For our next Lockdown Theme, we’re doing something a little reflective.

Paul Madporra took all our previous Music Evening themes, put them on a spinny wheel, narrowed them down to 30… and then spun another wheel with everyone’s names.
Fate (and questionable wheel physics) paired each of us with a theme from our past.

What this means

• You’ll play a song from the theme you’ve been assigned

• You must adhere to the original rules of that theme

• If your assigned theme was a Music Evening theme (not a Daily Lockdown theme), lucky you — you can choose any option from that theme

• Important rule for this round:
  👉 You may NOT choose any song that was already played during that theme
  (Same theme, new song)

We’re looking back at where we’ve been…
…but also looking forward with fresh choices.

The Pairings

• Arno — A Light in the Cold

• Chrisna — Hello and Goodbye

• Deborah — Same Song, Different Vibe!

• Errol — Traditional

• Esther — Moulting Season

• Geraldine — Relationships and Roles

• Karen — Double Exposure

• Liezel — Sunrise, Sunset

• Lynda — I Can Hear It

• Paul L — Turn It All the Way Up

• Paul Madporra — Life’s Journey & Things Found

• Richard — Yuletide Cheer and Wishes for the New Year

• Sue — Female Actresses Who Can Sing

• Wilfred — When She Took Center Stage

• Zosia — Words

Have fun revisiting the theme you’ve been handed, surprise us with a song we didn’t hear last time.
