Howard Wilkie has been awarded honorary life membership of the Newchurch Male Voice Choir in acknowledgement of the many years that he has served the choir. During his involvement with the choir, Howard has been a singer, announcer, Assistant Musical Director, and for a little over 2 years the accompanist at practices and concerts, with his wife Teresa being the Guest Artiste at some of the Choir’s concerts. Howard leaves to pursue other musical pathways and does so with the Choir’s blessing and thanks. Bob Cooper, for the Choir, has said:
“Howard has been a very loyal and talented asset for the Choir for many years and he leaves a big gap that we now need to fill. “So if there is anyone who would like to take on this exciting and entertaining roll of rehearsal and Concert Keyboard Accompanist to assist the choir in maintaining its renowned high standard of performance and bringing pleasure to our audiences, there is a place for you.”
The membership was recently handed over by Chairman, Rod Riddell and Musical Director, Roy Bevan. Anyone interested in joining the choir can contact Secretary Sheelagh Stephens on 01983 402327 or at [email protected].
