BURLEY-in-Wharfedale and District Probus Club presents a charity concert in aid of children’s cancer charity Candlelighters on Saturday, October 19 at 7pm in St Mary’s Church, Burley-in-Wharfedale.
The concert will feature Wharfedale Male Voice Choir with conductor Paul Hurst and MC Ken Bellwood. The choir plans to sing about a dozen songs including ones from the old shows and favourites like My Love is like a Red, Red Rose and Bring him Home.
There will be an organ recital by Peter Collins, director of music at St Mary’s Church. Recent highlights for Peter include playing in St Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.
The evening will also feature selected readings by Charles Prest. Charles lives in Burley and is a member of St Mary’s. He will be reading during both halves of the evening a story called ‘Why there are no longer penguins in the northern hemisphere’.
All proceeds are for Candlelighters, a Leeds based charity which supports the families of children with cancer.
