The annual concert took place at a ‘full to capacity’ St James’ Church. The appreciative audience was treated to an excellent performance by the choir supported by two extremely talented guests. Bronwen Lewis, a singer/songwriter, had the audience enthralled with her rendition of beautiful songs, accompanying herself on the guitar in the first half and the piano in the second half. Philippe Marchaud-Rodgers, a percussionist, showed immense talent playing the marimba and both artistes received resounding applause after their performances. These two young, talented musicians have very bright futures ahead of them.
The choir performed a variety of songs including an Irish lullaby, a Welsh folk song and a special arrangement of Fly Me To The Moon. They concluded their programme with Thoroughly Modern Millie, a fun and lively musical finale. One special song was I’m Gonna Be (500 miles). Originally a hit for the Proclaimers, the arrangement for a ladies choir was done to raise funds for the charity Walking with the Wounded. A collection was made after the concert and donated to this very worthwhile charity.
