Thanks to a recent refurbishment the venue was lovely and bright – sunshine yellow. Maybe this helped the members of the New Music Makers who performed to raise funds for the Shelter Box charity. They sang through the programme with enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment to a small, but appreciative audience, who joined in wholeheartedly with the Beatles singalong, including waving their arms to “Hey Jude”
David Farnell was musical director for the evening and we were accompanied by Chris Allison who also treated the audience to a beautiful piano solo – the theme from the film “The Piano”. Chris Kellaway was M C keeping the audience (as well as the choir) informed on what was happening next.
David Farnell and Sandie Austin duetted and solos were performed by Janet Moody, Pat Jenkins and Roy Hogben.
The thoroughly enjoyable evening raised £200 for this less well-known but very worthwhile charity.
