The choir have been working hard to get ready for our annual fund raising concert – Spring Sing! 2015.  Our big challenge this year has been learning to sing with a live band rather than just a piano or backing tracks.  “The band is slightly larger than we had planned for originally but they sound really good together and more importantly they add a different feel to the music and complement the choir” said Bob Manekshaw, choir chairman.

Spring Sing! 2015 Rehearsal with the band at Dorridge Methodist Church

Once again, Standley & Co solicitors in Knowle are kindly sponsoring the concert which is meeting the cost of our staging and catering.  This year’s venue, Christ Church URC in Solihull, offers the choir a much bigger and open space so there should be plenty of room for the choir and the audience this year.

Ticket sales are going well for the concert on Saturday April 25th with only a few remaining to purchase online via the website – https://www.singbentleyheath.org.uk/whats/spring-sing-concert/ and we are hoping to raise over £2000 for this year’s charities – Motor Neurone Disease Asssoc and Acorns Children’s Hospice.

Just as a little teaser, this recording (apologies for the sound quality) was made at a rehearsal this year and will give you a taste of the wide range of songs that the choir will be singing. If you haven’t done so already – buy your tickets for Spring Sing! 2015 before they all go!
