🌹 🎶 Making Waves this October

 

Dear Friend 🌹 🎶  Making Waves this October 🎶🌹 In the face of the challenges we face as a global community, there's an increasing groundswell of people crying out and calling out injustices and inequalities.  Just one voice can make a huge difference and is amplified when we join together with others.   🌹 🎶 Huge Sing for Water Thankyou! 1:10 people around the world lack access to clean water.  Over 21 years, Sing for Water has raised £1.2million for WaterAid projects working to address this vast injustice. Thanks to the amazing power of people to pull together, Sing for Water London 2022 went ahead despite being postponed due to the National Mourning.  Roxane Smith & I are so very grateful to all the amazing Singers, our Guest Conductors Una May Olomolaiye & Tom Morley,  Founder Helen Chadwick, the teams at Thames Festival Trust and WaterAid, the Sound Crew and our friends and family who supported. Thanks also to Naveen Arles, New YVC and all the singers who couldn't attend - you were with us on the songwaves. There's lots of photos and videos on the Sing for Water Facebook Page and my Youtube channel  Donations still welcome - the full totals will be released in a month or so. - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sfwpopupproject2022 🌹 🎶 October News I'm very excited to be part of Croydonites Festival in Gill Manly's mini-play  The Benefactress starring Joanna Scanlan (now sold out!)  This term some of my choirs are working towards Winter Sparkle Joint Choir Concert 11th December, 2.30pm - @ St John the Evangelist, Sylvan Road, SE19 2RX  do join us for lots of sparkly singing and afternoon tea!

Crisp and sparkling days, long pleasant evenings, cheery fires. Good work shall be done this winter. Life shall be lived well. The end of the summer is not the end of the world.
