Minerva Voices goes carol-singing for Cancer Research"},"content":{"rendered":"

A bustling Canterbury high street was treated to a festive selection of carols for upper-voices, as Minerva Voices<\/strong> took to the street to sing in support of Cancer Research.<\/p>\n

\"czad3vqxeaagxhz\"The idea was suggested by Inger Kviseth, a member of the Choir who works part-time for the charity, and asked if we would help with their fund-raising; the team leapt to respond, and were busy singing yesterday afternoon, aided by Music Society secretary, Robert Loveless, who wielded one of the collection buckets.<\/p>\n

\"czad3vmwgaebaxn\"The shoppers responded with enthusiasm to the choir’s bringing Carols for Choirs to life, and a brisk chill in the air was met with a warm response from passers-by.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the ladies – and to Robert! – for giving up their Sunday lunchtime in support of Cancer Research. The Choir will be back in action this Wednesday in a very different guise, singing as The Minervettes<\/strong> with the twelve-piece vintage swing band, General Harding’s Tomfoolery<\/strong>, on the foyer-stage at lunchtime; admission is free, bring your dancing-shoes!<\/p>\n
