A determined group of singers from Phoenix Male Voice Choir proved that not even persistent rain could dampen their community spirit, as they raised £1,000 for Wigan and Leigh Hospice at a garden party fundraiser.
The event, organised by Ruth Connor and held on Helen Street, Golborne on Saturday, 20 September, brought together choir members, guests and volunteers for an afternoon filled with music and laughter.
Ruth Connor, who organised the event, ensured everything ran smoothly from planning through to the final applause, with the afternoon featuring raffle prizes, singalongs and spontaneous solos!
A highlight of the day was a performance from the Wild Rovers, part of Phoenix Choir’s musical family.
The £1,000 raised is a testament to the generosity of everyone who attended, donated, baked, performed or supported the event in any way.
Phoenix Male Voice Choir, which is based in Golborne and rehearses every Monday at 10.30am at Heath Street Methodist Church, welcomes new male members who want to be part of their friendly singing community. No auditions are required – just a love of singing and enthusiasm to join in.
