‘JINGLE BELLS PEAL WITH SUCCESS’
Date Posted: 19-12-2013
Bolton Cancer Voices are celebrating the success of their first major concert ‘Jingle Bell Sing-A-Long’ after receiving a rousing response from the appreciative audience, who flocked to the Victoria Hall for their evening of festive entertainment. The Choir, which is the only dedicated Choir for cancer patients and cancer survivors in the North West, were joined on stage by their guests Besses o’ th’ Barn Band, as well as other cancer patients and cancer survivors, professionals involved in the treatment, care or support of cancer patients and singers from local Choirs in the area.
Keeping the whole evening running smoothly and seasoning it with his own brand of humour, Dr Kevin Jones; a Consultant Chest Physician at the Royal Bolton Hospital and a renowned comedian and after-dinner Speaker.
Karen Elliott, Chair of Bolton Cancer Voices said:
‘The whole evening was amazing and a wonderful experience for all concerned. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception or a more enthusiastic audience, they were right behind us from the start and when we reached the reprise of our final number – ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’, I couldn’t see a single person who hadn’t joined the children from St Philips Junior Workshop in performing the actions; it was awesome!
It certainly achieved everything and more that we hoped it would and I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported us in any way and helped make this event possible.’
As the New Year fast approaches Bolton Cancer Voices would like to hear from any cancer patients or cancer survivors who are interested in joining them. People from across the region are welcome but they must be able to get to Bolton for rehearsals. For further details please contact Karen on 01204 595562 / 07773 164235.
