Last night's 'Celebration of Song' charity concert

Now we have a blog and a Facebook presence we need to photograph and record our performances if only to examine on how we appear and most importantly – sound. A kind supporter took this photo just before we commenced our 20 minutes of eclectic songs. Our leader, Ray, is introducing us. He'd reminded us all to smile more, we absorbed the message but clearly not for this picture! We look rather apprehensive, pity because we didn't need to be.  It all went very well and was great fun. It was nice to be the first choir to sing, we could then relax and enjoy the following four 'acts', all of whom were very polished and talented. Such variety of approach from each choir demonstrated their unique characters. The Mayor of Wimborne Jeff Hart, also a valuable Jubilate bass, hosted the event which raised over £800 apparently for two fine charities – Wimborne Victoria Hospital and Planet Wimborne, the town's environmental hub.  

The joy of singing – Quotation #1:

"That is the great mistake about all these country people. They close their doors and sit together as a family. They should go to the dances and sing-songs that are not so far off as to be out of reach." – THOMAS HARDY

Celebration of Song – Wednesday 15 January

Come along and hear us sing at this worthy charity fund raiser! Compare the choirs! Great opportunity if you are thinking of joining a choir for the New Year.
