St John’s Church, Newport was the venue for Phoenix Choir’s latest concert on Thursday 30th June at which they were raising money towards Carisbrooke Castle Museum’s refurbishment of Princess Beatrice’s Kitchen.
The appreciative audience were entertained with songs from a wide variety of genres and included ‘Band of Brothers’ which the choir dedicated to Ukraine, ‘Fields of Gold’ by Sting, ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ by Stevie Wonder and, ‘Sloop John B’ sung by the Men’s Choir, whilst the soloists this time were Jan Merwood with ‘Caledonia’, Paul Stevens with ‘Music Of The Night’, Ian Attrill with ‘I Love You Because’, Gwen Stevens with ‘Gladiator’ and Elizabeth Habens with ‘O Mio Babbino Caro’.
All too soon the evening came to an end, but a total of £520 was raised toward the project.
The Phoenix Choir’s next concert is on Saturday 13th August at 7.30pm at St Saviour’s Church, Totland.
