Exercise: Listen to the dialogue and filling the blanks with the missing information.
Serenading Service was founded three years ago when the
singer realize that British people were desperate for romance. He thought there would be a clientele for a hired serenader. The idea came from his studies of Renaissance music, which is full of serenades. Over the centuries, university students have turned the serenade into an art form for hire. Usually he is hired by men to sing love songs to women. Occasionally he is asked to sing to men.
The service is really a form of intimate alfresco theatre with love songs. He usually wears a white tie and tails and sings amorous Italian songs. He will carry chocolate hearts or flowers and when
there is no balcony available he will sing from trees or fire escapes!
The fee depends on whether a musician comes along or not. The basic rate is ￡450 but it can cost a lot more especially if he takes a gondola and a group of musicians along. Some people are so
moved that they burst into tears, but some react badly. They try to find out as much as they can about their clients to avoid unpleasant situations. They have to be very careful these days because a
serenade can be completely misinterpreted.
