Kate said:

“Having witnessed the care & tenderness in hospices, which rely so much on voluntary funding to continue their work, this just seemed an opportunity to support them.”

 

We sang with this excellent choir in Toll Gavel about 10 years ago – and it was almost standing room only.

See their website, where you can hear them sing, at:

Tickets £8 on the door or, from 5th July, from Beverley Tourist Information Centre.
