Newchurch Male Voice Choir returned to their home village to present a Platinum Jubilee Concert at All Saints Church on Thursday (2nd June).
A large and appreciative audience listened to songs from different decades of Her Majesty’s 70 years reign. Songs included: I Believe (1953), Gwahoddiad (1963), An Amereican Trilogy (arr. 1971), You are so beautiful/The wind beneath my wings (1973), Anthem (from Chess) (1984), The Rose (arr. 2000), What a wonderful world (arr. 2007), and Neopolitan trilogy (arr. 2018). The concert ended with ‘Let there be peace on earth’.
A retiring collection raised £440, which will be split between the Church Weather Vain Repair Fund and the Island Ukrainian Appeal.
Spokesman for Newchurch Male Voice Choir Bob Cooper said:
“It was lovely to be back singing in public after over 2 years away. Thank you to the audience for their donations. It makes all the hard practice well worth it.”
