The Phoenix Choir were given a very warm welcome back at The Holy Trinity Church Bembridge on Saturday 5th October for their concert in aid of the Stonework Restoration Appeal and the Installation of a Kitchenette.
The audience responded enthusiastically to the wide variety of music genres contained within the evening’s programme, which included songs from popular films and musicals as well as folk and pop music.
Praise for soloists
In addition to the songs sung solely by the choir there were seven soloists who all received loud applause – Jan Merwood (Caledonia), Alistair Drain (I’ll See You In My Dreams), Pat Attrill (Sweet Dreams), Paul Stevens (Bring Him Home), Ian Attrill (Distant Drums), Gwen Stevens (Thank You For The Music) and Elizabeth Habens (Pie Jesu).
The evening raised a total of £850.
Performance with Russell Watson
This was Phoenix Choir’s last charity concert of the 2024 season, but they are delighted that there is an opportunity to see them perform with Russell Watson (tickets only) on Saturday 28th November at All Saints Church Ryde.
