New Ross Singers to host concert for Fethard RNLI
Next Friday, June 13, will mark the group's last concert before their summer break, which will be in aid of Fethard RNLI.
'The lifeboats on our coasts are indispensable, and continue to come to the rescue in all weathers. Fethard has had a lifeboat service since 1996, having reopened after an 80-year break, and it relies heavily on donations,' said the Singers' Musical Director, Connie Tantrum.
'This concert is in the beautifully refurbished hall in Fethard, and it's a great chance to take a trip down memory lane, whilst maybe humming along too, as the choir will perform a mixture of music from the Messiah to Bohemian Rhapsody, and have recently been learning many of the classic popular songs, by, among others, the Beatles, Queen, Simon and Garfunkel and Billy Joel. The concert promises to make for a great night, and it's all for a good cause,' said Ms Tantrum.
Ms Tantrum also explained that following the group's 'well-earned rest', they plan to perform 'a completely different sort of music in November' such as Rossini's Petite Messe Solonnelle. The New Ross Singers will return after the concert in September, where new members are welcome.
The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Fethard and tickets cost €15.
