Spring Sing! on YouTube
On behalf of the choir, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who bought a ticket and came to Spring Sing! on Saturday night. Knowle Parish Church was packed to the rafters as the choir took to the stage and sang their first number – “Top of the World”. It was a great song to start with – full of energy and fun and most of all – it summed up the way we all felt seeing family, friends, and members of the public coming together to support the choir. The concert was a sell out and raised over £2,000 which will be shared between Solihull Mind and Warwickshire Air Ambulance.
A member of our audience recorded the first number from our first gig and posted it on YouTube – Thank’s Mike for doing that (we don’t often get a chance to see or hear ourselves in action)
A big thank you also goes to Standley & Co for their generous support which went to wards the cost of catering and hall hire and allowing us to raise even more money for our good causes.
Be proud everyone – it was a fantastic night.

Loved every minute and those damn songs are STILL going on in my head and amazingly I’m hitting all the top notes, -for once.! Thanks for the chance to be a part of it all, and to have such an inspirational leader in Jane,- what a bonus.
Even my non musical husband who came to listen was impressed by the standard we’d reached!

Hi all, l’ve had masses of positive feed back and constructive comments. We all gave off such positive vibes on Saturday and one comment mentioned the community feeling bringing us all together. I was proud to be there.
Also proud of the wonderful kitchen helpers…thank- you so much we soon reduced the queues!!!(sorry if l was too bossy) Caz.
Thank you to Jane, committee and fellow singers for giving me the opportunity to be part of such an enjoyable concert. I think one of Sing Bentley Heath’s strengths is that you are so welcoming to everyone and it was a wonderful feeling singing and being part of the evening.

WELL DONE and a massive THANK YOU to EVERYONE – the concert was brilliant and I loved every second. Due to your dedication and enthusiasm we gave an excellent performance. We did more than “pulling it off” – we made it better than good, we made it fantastic! A special thanks to Gill who made countless communications with the church for us; to Liz, Sue and team for making and distributing posters; to Catherine for the press releases and advertising; to Caz and team for the catering; to Ray and team for the manual work of shifting stuff and sorting Front of House; to Royston for his technical expertise and cheeky cheerfulness; to all of the choir for brilliant singing and putting up with me as MD; to the brilliant audience for their support and participation; and of course to our ‘bobtastic’ chairman Bob who puts so much time, effort, wisdom and enthusiasm into making the choir what it is. Well done everyone… onwards and upwards!

What a wonderful night we had at the concert last night. After initial nerves I really enjoyed singing and the wonderful atmosphere. Well done to everyone. I have had many comments about how professional we sounded and our excellent choir leader Jane. Well done the young musicians too. I would like to thank Bob, Jane and the committee for all their hard work and anyone else who helped behind the scenes.
wow Jane you were fantastic ,thank you – we greatly enjoyed taking part in the concert under your guidance ,you were professional ,amusing and genuine . After the rehearsal we thought we may have peaked too early with all the adrenalin flowing , but no , there was more to come – after the concert we had to adjourn to the Red Lion to calm down! Many thanks to all who made technically possible . Peter & Elaine
