LAST MONTH, barbershop group the Kentones turned their rehearsal time into a coffee evening for the Macmillan Cancer Care charity.
It was the idea of one of the club’s supporters, Sandie Beaney, who, like many, has a very good reason to be grateful to the Macmillan nurses.
A fun-filled evening of singing in the barbershop style was begun by Mike Corr, the Kentones’ chorus director, who conducted a vocal warm up, getting all of the audience involved.
The programme featured the Kentones and two of their quartets, Voice Male and Southern Brand, and two ladies quartets Hunky Dory and Out Of The Blue.
A new ladies’ chorus has sprung up recently and they chose this evening to make their debut.
Under chorus director Martin Ford, the girls of Vocal Project entranced the audience with their beauty as well as their beautiful singing.
The evening ended with all performers on stage singing the traditional last two songs, Let’s Get Together Again and Keep The Whole World Singing.
The club raised £355 for this very worthy cause and the Kentones wish to thank everyone who came along to make this a most enjoyable and successful evening.
