Fantastic Fundraising Concert! :)

We are so thrilled to announce that our Fundraising Concert at Wrington Chapel on Monday evening went really well, and all the acts were absolutely amazing.

We kicked the event off with the Year 13 Band, who named themselves ‘The Checkers’ for the evening. They played five songs from their impressive repertoire, including ‘Mercy’ and ‘Valerie’, to thunderous applause.

Next up was singer/songwriter Maisie Wallace, who played three of her own songs beautifully, including ‘The Old Sea Captain’, which she won the Clifton High School talent show with in 2011.

Following her was Sam Dobinson, who performed a lovely rendition of Newton Faulkner’s ‘I’m Not Giving Up Yet’.

Our very own Martha then took to the stage managing to sing ‘The One That Got Away’ beautifully whilst simultaneously playing the piano in an emotional performance. What a great multi tasker!

Charlie Lloyd then played the guitar and sang to four lovely songs in a mind-blowing debut live performance, with a little audience participation of course! Thank you for being brave enough to “Do this!” and share your incredible gift with us J

Luke and April then closed the first half of the concert, playing guitar and singing to two moving songs.

We then had a really fun interval, filled with drinks, chatting and lots of amazing cake. Thank you so much to everyone who baked them for us, we love you all J

After the interval, Martha treated us to another performance, this time singing the hilarious ‘I Cain’t Say No’ from the musical Oklahoma! which certainly put the audience in a bright mood!

Continuing with the musical theme, husband and wife duo (cute!) David and Catherine Tisdall then took to the stage for a really powerful piano/singing performance.

Martha’s dad John then sang ‘Stars’ from the musical Les Misérables and ‘One Day Like This’, and had the enthusiastic audience all clapping along by the time he’d finished.

Emily, Dael, Chris and Corin were our final act, performing ‘Hey Ya’ and the beautifully moving ‘Fix You’ by Coldplay, which even included the use of a mandolin. How exciting! J

However, The Checkers then played a fabulous encore of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Superstition’ to see the audience out safely, after hopefully enjoying a really fun evening.

Well done and thanks to everyone who performed, you were all incredible! Also, we’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped us set up and run the evening, and of course, to everyone who came to support us. You were a brilliant audience!

Thanks for reading. We’ll let you know how much we’ve raised as soon as possible J
