Dear All

More accolades following our concert at St James’ the other week.  This from their Parish News: 'To round up the celebrations of our 150th anniversary, the Shaftesbury Community Choir, together with the Uke Shack Ensemble provided a full church with a wonderfully enjoying and entertaining afternoon of varied music followed by tea.  Resplendent in various shades of red, the choir sang with infectious enthusiasm and enjoyment.  What a fun afternoon!'
