the internet. Musicworks are asking for your support
through donations via Virgin Money Giving and they will
send a DVD to your loved one or to someone in need.

RADCLIFFE ON TRENT MALE VOICE CHOIR - locked down
but bouncing “Backup”. As Christmas approaches, lockdown
has curtailed the Radcliffe MVC Christmas concerts.
However the choir hasn’t been idle. They still practice
online via Zoom and remain in good spirits. What really lifts
their spirits is raising funds for the charities they support.
Proceeds from the 2019 Christmas concert, £2,174, were
donated to “Backup” a charity that has supported a choir
member in the past. “Backup” supports those recovering
from spinal injury.
We can’t wait to start performing again to raise more money
for “Backup” and the other charities we support.
