Singing smiles

Betty Henderson

THE Costa Blanca Male Voice Choir showed their community spirit with a generous donation of €1,000, raised at their Christmas concert, to children’s charity, ‘Make a Smile’. Members of the choir officially presented a cheque for the sum to the charity after a rehearsal on Wednesday, January 25.

The children’s charity thanked the choir, saying the money had been used to fund their Christmas activities and any leftover money will be spent on educational projects.

The choir is actively recruiting new members, particularly after tragically suffering the loss of several longserving members this year. Publicity Officer Vernon Pearce said,

“There are no auditions to join the choir and you don’t need any previous experience ­ as long as you want to sing and enjoy the company of like ­ minded men.”

The majority of songs are arranged and performed in English, and the group is welcoming to singers from any background with any musical knowledge.
