Joint concert with Nankersey MVC in aid of The Chestnut Appeal

Tuesday 16th April, 2024 - 3:25pm

I know all my colleagues at Mousehole will agree with me that this was a concert we looked forwards to with high expectations which were exceeded again and again. It was an evening filled with good music and humour in a magnificent venue as the two choirs each took turns to sing separately and then at the end, two pieces by the combined choirs with the whole thing introduced and the pieces explained by compere Adrian Wilton whose knowledge of male voice choirs is unrivalled, as is his inexhaustible collection of jokes and funny stories. The Chestnut Appeal is a very worthy cause we can all relate to and their work was explained to us by Lesley-Ann Simpson and Mr Mark Mantle (Consultant Urologist). Our special thanks must go to the Nankersey Choir Ladies Committee who excelled themselves in providing an excellent and most generous spread of refreshments after the singing was done. We also thank our incredibly hard-working music teams: M.D.s Elaine Tangye, Steve Lawry and assistant M.D. David Williams, our accompanists Annette Turton and Mike Uren and flautist Maureen Trevorrow without whom we would be lost.
