Sing It Stronger, Sing Together Thetford Singers celebrated the Commonwealth in the company of schoolchildren from Raleigh Infant Academy and Admirals Academy and an enthusiastic audience on Friday night, 15th July. Their latest concert in the Carnegie featured a programme of folk song arrangements in a variety of largely upbeat styles, sourced by director Chris Parsons, who conducted with his customary verve. Under Chrisʼs guidance the Singers have made significant progress, tightening their ensemble and developing in range and flexibility of expression. This was evident in a compelling suite of African numbers arranged by Alexander LʼEstrange as Songs of a Rainbow Nation, alongside LʼEstrangeʼs quirky version of Dashing Away with a Smoothing Iron and a plangent Canadian love-lyric, Sheʼs like a Swallow.

For the remaining numbers the choir was joined to great effect by the fourteen strong childrenʼs group, rehearsed and directed by Fiona Barnett in a contribution which left the Academiesʼ Interim Executive Principal Mary Foreman “immensely proud of each child as they sang their hearts out”. The brightness and energy of their singing illuminated the evening. Fiona Barnett (piano) and Bob Settle (percussion) accompanied in the spirit of a thoroughly enjoyable concert. Very acceptable entertainment for a summerʼs evening in Thetford with the audience, in the words of the Townʼs Mayor Jane James “left wanting more”.
