Summer Concert raises £1400

Wednesday, 19 July 2023 22:45

The concert by local singing group One A' Chord was held on 24 June 2023 in aid of Evergreen Care Trust. £800 was raised on the evening and One A' Chord contributed a further £600. The evening was a great success with the audience singing along to songs and even joining in dancing to Rocking All Over The World to finish. A cheque for £1400 was handed over on Wednesday 19 July 2023 to Caroline Joyce, Care Manager of Evergreen Care Trust, who expressed her thanks to One A' Chord for a wonderful evening and the very generous and much welcome donation.

One A Chord's aim is to meet up on Wednesday evenings, have fun and just enjoy themselves through singing, and to raise money for worthwhile charities by presenting Christmas and Summer concerts. Mike Robinson on Bass Guitar and Mark Craig on Percussion join the group for concert events. They call themselves a ‘singing group’ rather than a choir as many of the songs performed are popular music. Leader and musical director Linda Smith plays the keyboard; she is joined by her husband John who plays electric and acoustic guitar, they have years of experience of playing in musical groups. https://www.facebook.comnk/groups/1363315800512370
