Guilsfield Singers delighted a full audience in Welshpool Town Hall Assembly Rooms with their 'Fascinating Rhythm' programme.

The concert on Saturday, July 18, included American Songbook classics, traditional spirituals, and a set of three uplifting pieces.

The evening ended with an unaccompanied rendition of 'Ride the Chariot'.

The choir was led by Musical Director James Llewelyn Jones and accompanist Heather Howell.

The performance also featured clarinetist Christine Evans and local youngster Ewan Lawson, who played jazz piano and trumpet solos.

A bucket collection raised £224.72 for the Feathers Association, which supports young people in the Welshpool area.

"Thank you, everyone who attended and gave so generously."

The choir is now on a summer break until September 4, but will return to rehearsals on Friday evenings from 7pm to 9pm in the Old School, Guilsfield.

The Guilsfield Singers are open to new members.

Anyone interested can contact the secretary via the website guilsfieldsingers.org.uk or email adminguilsfieldsingers@gmail.com.
