Verwood’s ladies’ choir The Fayrewood Singers are very happy to be back rehearsing again after 18 months of silence due to Covid. New members are very welcome to join us on a Tuesday afternoon at the Verwood Hub, from 2pm3.30pm. We sing all sorts of music, in two or three parts, sometimes more, and we aim to perform two concerts a year. We can also provide miniconcerts for clubs and associations that require some entertainment at meetings. No auditions are necessary, you just need to want to sing!

£1,270 raised by swing fans Audiences at ‘Jazz at the Allendale’, the series of charity concerts organised by Wimborne Rotary Club, showed their appreciation of the live performances by donating a generous £1,270. Swing Unlimited Big Band held the crowds spellbound with a wide-ranging programme of music and vocals, including traditional classics and, topically, James Bond themes and this was reflected in the contributions to Rotary charities. Organiser, Rotarian Darryl Reach, said, “We were delighted to return to the Allendale with this concert. “We’re planning to return next year and will be releasing details of our next concert as soon as they are finalised.”
