The eight voices in the ‘Joy of Song’ concert given by OCTAVO delighted the audience in Poulton Church from start to finish. Smiling throughout, the choir entertained with both sacred and humorous songs dating from 16th century to 20th century.
The encore ‘I’m a chucka train’ by Albert Hammond gave us a good fast vehicle in which to travel home after the song ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’ and previous gems such as ‘Bogoroditsye Dyevo’ from the vespers by Rachmaninov and ‘Sing Joyfully’ by William Byrd.
Grippers is very grateful both to Octavo and Poulton Church for allowing us to collect a handsome figure to help the charity fund activities for those recovering from psychosis.
