Folks in Harmony held their Charity Presentation and Open Evening on 12th September.

Our guests had a great welcome and joined us in singing ‘Above my Head’, giving them a taster of what we do. We then performed various songs from our extensive repertoire. There was a great turnout with some visitors expressing a wish to join the choir. Tea and cakes during the interval went down well too!

Folks in Harmony donated a fantastic £3,000 from their fund-raising to local charity Enable Ability, a disability charity based in Portsmouth. Chairman Alan Key said “I am delighted to be able to give this cheque to Enable Ability, our chosen charity for this year. Singing is something that we can all do which uplifts the spirits and make us all feel so much better’.

The choir meets every Thursday evening at 7.15 in Bedhampton Community Centre. www.folksinharmony.co.uk
