Encore Singers on song to help the C’Siders

Weymouth and Portland cancer support group C’Siders thanked the Encore Singers for staging a concert for them.

Chairman Peter Meacham said: “What a fantastic show it was, with the audience captivated from the first note to the last. One audience member was heard to say, ‘It’s the best night out I’ve had in a very long time.’

“And, indeed she was right to say so, as musical director James Crawshaw led us through the program of songs sung both by the choir, but also by an eager audience when invited to join in.”

The singers performed songs from shows including West Side Story, Fields of Gold and Oliver!

A retiring collection raised £665 on the night, which will go towards funding the group’s two meetings per month, plus table tennis knockabout sessions and rehabilitation classes.
