For our first performance of 2024 we stepped outside of the borders of Hampshire and Surrey into Royal Berkshire. The concert was hosted by the Berkshire Freemasons at the Masonic Centre in Sindlesham on Saturday 17th February. The concert raised about £1,000 to support the choir and The Friends of Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh Court, a nursing and care home
A full audience were treated to our first public performance of three new musical items, the cowboy song "Don't Fence Me In", the sea shanty "Leave Her Johnny Leave Her" and "Silent Worship" from Handel's opera Tolomeo - a truly wide range of musical styles! Other items included a number of old favourites - "With A Voice Of Singing", "Speed Your Journey", "Yesterday", "What A Wonderful World", "Working Man", "American Trilogy", "What Would I Do Without My Music", "Morte Christe", "Londonderry Air" and rounded off with a rousing performance of "When The Saints Go Marching In".
The concert also featured guest performances by guitarist and singer Richard Costello who sang a selection from artists such as Johnny Cash, Simon and Garfunkle, The Beatles, and Don McLean.
