THE choir gave another successful concert in October, the Primrose Proms Concert, at the Spadesbourne Suite in Bromsgrove.

It was sponsored by the Primrose Hospice and Cancer Help Centre, to which the choir's profits are always donated.

The Proms Concert is an annual event in the autumn and, like the Last Night of the Proms in the Albert Hall, ends with the traditional Rule Britannia, Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory.

The choir was joined by the popular West Midland Light Orchestra conducted by Hilary Summers.

Both choir and orchestra contributed numbers separately and they joined together in a charming version of Every Time We Say Goodbye.

The evening was compared by Peter Tomlinson, of Saga Radio fame, and his light touch was well suited to the warm and friendly atmosphere which characterises the choir's concerts.

The choir is now working hard on the festive repertoire and in the run-up to Christmas has a large number of private engagements.

The next public performance will be the Christmas Concert at the Rocklands Social Club in Redditch on December 18.
