'Last Night of the Proms' Concert -
Another £1000 raised...
What a
night !!! Saturday 26th April 2008 saw another spectacularly
successful CHAD Singers Concert on a 'Last Night of the Proms'
theme.
With a choir some 40 strong, the evening was introduced by our
Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Mike Richards, who in resplendent attire
started in true 'Music Hall' tradition giving the details of
the first half of the concert which was a musical tour of the
British Isles. With some audience participation, we visited Ireland
with 'Danny Boy', 'Cockles and Mussels, 'Phil the Fluter' performed
by three 'Irish' singers and a musical distraction with Paddie
Owen's Band with their performances on penny whistles, drums
and various accompanying sounds of a vintage car horn, whistle
and sliding whistle. Scotland was visited with 'Loch Lomond',
'Mull of Kintyre' and 'The Skye Boat Song'. Back to England with
performances of 'Ilkley Moot Baht 'at', 'In a English country
garden' (sung by the Ladies), 'Scarborough Fair, and 'Rose of
England'. Wales was not left out with 'All through the night',
and a 'Medley of Welsh favourites' performed by the men of the
choir, with some sung in Welsh !
After a Cheese and Wine Supper interval, the concert resumed
with the ceremony of placing a wreath on the bust of Sir Henry
Wood.
We then enjoyed an energetic 30 minutes of 'Last Night of the
Proms' with everyone joining in the festivities singing with
full voices and lots of flag waving. The evening ended with 'God
save the Queen' and 'Auld Lang Syne'.
Just over £1000 was raised for our charity of Wolverhampton
Multi-Care, which will be added to the sum of £725 raised
at Christmas. We were pleased to have Mary Gittings from Wolverhampton
Multi-Care in the audience who gave a short address outlining
how the charity operates in helping those who care for the severely
handicapped.
We would like to thank sincerely all of those who helped in any
way to make this event most enjoyable and successful.

Christmas 2007... £725 raised
Our
Concert on 19th December 2007 held in St Chad's Church in Pattingham
was a success raising some £515 for this year's charity,
Wolverhampton Multi-Care. The church was packed with over 200
people and Mary Gittings gave a short talk of what Multi-Care
was about and its future plans. The large audience enjoyed the
concert and the mince pies and mulled wine served during the
interval. Thanks to all those who were involved in this very
successful event.
Our sponsors were...
Muras Baker Jones Chartered Accountants, Asda, Pickwick Ovens
and Waitrose.
  On
the following Saturday, the 22nd December, we performed Christmas
carols outside the Pattingham Shops. Despite the cold, damp weather,
we collected £205 over the two hours of singing, which
again will go to our 2008 charity, Wolverhampton Multi-Care.
We were joined by a young Flautist who performed 'Away in a manger'. |
  A
Special Occasion...
The
Priest-in-charge at St. Chad's Church in Pattingham, John Daimond,
