Barnstaple Ladies Choir to sing for Devon Air Ambulance

A North Devon ladies’ choir is hosting a charity concert next month. 

Join Barnstaple Ladies Choir on June 6 when they will perform in support of Devon Air Ambulance. 

The concert will start at 7.30pm at Barnstaple Baptist Church. 

Performers will include the choir’s music director, Lorraine Homewood and their accompanist, Jean Bell. 

The concert will feature guest artist, Andrew Jefferey. His music journey began at the age of eight when he sang for the church choir in Bridgwater. After going to college and Laine Theatre Arts, he worked professionally for five years around the UK and the West End. 

Last year, the choir raised over £10,000 through singing at 14 concerts. Funds were donated to various local charities. 

Lynne Beer is the Barnstaple Ladies Choir chairman. She has been a member since the very beginning 40 years ago. She loves taking part in concerts that fundraise for charity. 

Lynne said: “We decided to raise funds for Devon Air Ambulance as we know how vital the helicopter is in transporting injured to hospitals in our rural community.”

Tickets are £5 and can be purchased on the door.

Their next concert will be with Portadown Male Voice Choir from Northern Ireland on September 26.
