Choir singing at a private event in Heywood.

Fantastic news: the evening's concert on Saturday 12th October at St Edward's RC Church, Lees, Oldham featuring the Choir, Margaret Ferguson (soprano) ;and Jonathon Ellis (piano) raised over £800 for CAFOD.

The choir has had a busy couple of weeks with three very different performances.

The first was on Saturday 29th September when we travelled to St Paul's Church, Caton, near Lancaster to provide an evening's concert. The very appreciative audience enjoyed a varied programme of songs by the choir and solo items from both Margaret and Jonathon.

On Sunday 2nd October we shared an uplifting evening of worship as the Churches Together in Rossendale filled The Hub, Bacup for their annual Songs of Praise event. Together with the 2nd Rossendale Scout Group Brass Band under the musical direction of Graham Helm we led the large congregation in the singing of hymns old and new. The choir performed a variety of pieces, with solo items from Margaret and Jonathon also.

The following Saturday, 9th October we once again travelled north, this time to St John's Church, Whittle-le-Woods, near Chorley where we had the privilege of being invited to do an evening's concert to launch their fundraising camapign to carry out extensive and much needed renovations to the church.

Margaret Ferguson, our musical director and leader, is a professional singer (soprano). If you would like to see and hear Margaret, please click on the following link to see her upcoming concerts:
