Refreshments will be included with admission on the night. All proceeds from the concert will support the lifesaving work of Hoylake and West Kirby RNLI’s volunteer lifeboat crews.
Carron Jones, Hoylake and West Kirby RNLI Fundraising Chair, said:
‘We are delighted to be welcoming the Kenfig Hill Male Voice Choir. When their representative contacted us with the exciting opportunity to put on a concert specifically to raise vital funds for our lifeboat crews, we were both grateful for their support and excited to showcase their talents. We are really looking forward to an uplifting evening of entertainment for our community, while supporting our RNLI crews in their lifesaving work.’
Paul Butterworth, Chairman of the Kenfig Hill Male Voice Choir, said:
‘We’re really looking forward to performing at St Hildeburgh’s Parish Church this May in support of Hoylake & West Kirby RNLI. Sharing our love of music is one of the greatest joys of being part of a choir, and having an audience to perform in front of gives us every reason to keep going.’
