On Friday, 19th June, the choir gave it's last concert of this season. We sang at the Methodist Church in Hanham, Bristol and were joined by our friends, Miscellany, a small choir of lady singers who provide a gentle and melodic respite from our section on war songs! We also sang some delicate pieces of course and ended the season with a very pleasant evening. Some of our own choir, unable to sing with us because of various sore throats and the like, sat in the audience and complimented us on the singing ( I thought it had improved because they were not with us!)
The church was raising money for its charity and the evening had enabled them to send at least £350 to "Smile Train" which gifts surgery to children with cleft palates and lips. We heartily endorse this charity and the work they do. More details can be found at www.smiletrain.org.uk
We have completed our schedule of concerts for this season. Our next concert is in October but before then we will sing at the wedding of our accompanist, Julie Payne; attend and sing at the Police Remembrance Service in September and sing at 2 concerts in Pembroke, sharing each concert with a local choir. All of these things we look forward to and will begin rehearsal again at the start of September to add a whole host of new songs to our repertoire.
Thanks to all those people who have attended a concert (or two...) this year and who have shown us the never-ending support that helps us to raise money for charity whilst enjoying our singing. |
