A joint concert by the Newchurch Male Voice Choir and the Sea Gels Shanty Band raised £500 for Sandown & Shanklin Independent Lifeboat. Members of the choir and the shanty band recently presented a cheque to Kirren Shaw, Trainee coxswain of the independent lifeboat. Bob Cooper of Newchurch Male Voice Choir said:
“To be able to bring the pleasure of such a variety of songs, many relating to the sea, to a very appreciative audience and then donate £500 for the lifeboat, continues to show the value of singing and music in the well-being of our health and the community”.
