On March 6th, 2010, the choir sang at a special concert in St. George's Church, Easton in Gordano. It was arranged by choir member Pete Jones and his wife Jo, who are to support the Action Medical Research charity for children by cycling over 100 miles (London to Paris) to raise money as part of a team event. The choir were delighted to support their money raising effort by providing this concert. The concert raised over £1400. Not content with helping organising the event and by cycling, Peter also provided some of the solo songs at the concert along with John Gray who completed the solos. Both sounded wonderful tonight and chose an excellent selection of music. Julie Payne put the icing on the cake by playing "Gabriel's Oboe".
The acoustics were wonderful and we really made a beautiful sound. We were at our best with excellent harmony and clear diction. We really must come back to this church - it is perfect for a choir. (The audience even contributed £120 towards a fund to repair the church tower!)
