The Shiney Row Male Voice Choir will hold a fundraising concert for Ukraine

The Shiney Row Choir of Male Voices will perform ‘A Special Concert for the Ukrainian People’ at St. Chad’s C of E Church, East Herrington at 7pm on Saturday 30 April.

The choir will be joined by guest singers, soprano Jullie Pendleton and tenor John Rowland.

Acting secretary Kevin Lillie said choir members wanted to do all they could to help the hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the Russian invasion.

“The men of Shiney Row were keen to do their part to support the people of Ukraine,” he said.

“We thought the best way for the choir to help out was to put on this special concert and ‘Rejoice In Singing’ to try and raise as much money as possible.”

Formed in 1959, the Shiney Row Male Voice Choir regularly perform concerts and charity events in the region and beyond. The group is proud of its heritage and strives to maintain and develop male singing for future generations to enjoy, with the motto “Rejoice In Singing”.

Tickets for next month’s concert will cost £8 per person. There will also be a raffle and a special donation box.

The organizers encourage everyone to buy their tickets early and support the event. All proceeds will go to the “Call of Hope for All Ukraine”.
