A POPULAR musical concert has once again hit the right notes to provide a symphony of support for local hospice care.
It’s the 21st successive year that a group of local amateur operatic societies have put on a varied programme of live music featuring ‘Songs from the Shows’.
The ‘Enchanted Evening’ concert features top-class soloists singing a selection of the best-loved tunes from musical theatre.
It was organised by Mike Styan, Phil Steels and Steve Pearson – whose car firm on Acres Lane in Stalybridge sponsored the event once again.
The evening at Dukinfield Methodist Church recently has raised £1,386.50 for Willow Wood Hospice.
The hospice, based in Ashton-under-Lyne, provides specialist and compassionate care to patients from across Tameside and Glossop with any life-limiting illness.
Samantha Kitch, Fundraising Manager at Willow Wood Hospice, said: “Mike and his musical friends have raised £21,000 for the hospice over the years through holding this wonderful and nostalgic occasion.
“We cannot thank them enough for their continued support, which really makes a difference to patients from our local community who need our care.”
The ‘Enchanted Evening’ team is already putting plans in place for next year’s concert – so stay ‘tuned’.
