Newchurch Male Voice Choir joined forces with First Act Theatre Group for a summer serenade at St Saviour’s Church in Shanklin at the tail end of last month.
The choir sang a number of groups of songs, in between which, the First Act Theatre Group performed a series of songs from their shows.
This performance was greeted by a standing ovation from the audience as it goes to show that the magic of music and performance is s a boost to the confidence of people with learning difficulties and disabilities.
The church was then filled with the beautiful sound of the Oboe as Donna Brihmani performed several numbers.
A wonderful evenings entertainment and enjoyment culminated in over £700 being donated by the audience in the retiring collection and raffle. These proceeds will be split between the Choir and The First Act so they will be able to continue entertaining audiences and raising monies for Island charities and good causes.
I am very proud to be a member of first act and had a great evening entertaining everyone
