Charity concert
A CHARITY concert at Holy Trinity Church, Millhouses on Sunday, July 5 is setting out to show that music, while not curing ills, makes them bearable.
It features a blast from the past, soprano Barbara Middlebrook
suffering from Parkinson's but still in excellent voice, they say, and one of her singing partners of old, tenor Andrew Nimmo who has lymphoma.
Also included in the mix are John Savournin, his sister Jo, his girlfriend Lydia Jenkins, two of his other London acquaintances from the Rosemary Branch Theatre and, locally, the older Savournins, John and Judith, Alf Bailey, Jenny Bletso and Richard McKeown.
Gerry Kersey is the compere, as well as performing Tit Willow among four pieces The Mikado, two other Gilbert and Sullivan solo numbers being elsewhere.
Items from operetta and musicals, Lehar, Romberg, Offenbach, Lloyd Webber, Novello, Coward, Rodgers and Hammerstein, etc, are heavy, but there is also some Elgar, including two of his Sea Pictures.
All is with piano accompaniment and beneficiaries include Weston Park Hospital and Charles Court Opera with a 'retiring collection' for the Parkinson's Disease Society.
The concert starts at 7pm and tickets, 8, including refreshments, are available by calling (0114) 2363797
