PHOENIX SINGERS

What a splendid concert we were given by Zephyr a few weeks ago! It is time now for another real treat.  The Phoenix Singers make a very welcome return. You can read the details in their poster below.


As you see on the poster here is a link to their website www.thephoenixsingers.co.uk

A while ago they sent me their provisional programme and here it is. I will post the final one when I have it.  I am sure you will agree that it  should be a wonderful evening.
