Deputy Mayor to Attend ‘Voices in Harmony’ Choral Concert

The Deputy Mayor of Hailsham will join celebrations at a special collaborative concert featuring Hailsham Voices and Eastbourne Voices Community Pop Choirs, taking place at The Welcome Building (Shackleton Hall) in Eastbourne on Saturday 1st November.

Called ‘Voices in Harmony’, the event marks the first time the two choirs will perform together in concert. With around 150 singers on stage, audiences can expect an uplifting programme of popular songs, showcasing some of East Sussex’s finest local talent.

A retiring collection at the end of the evening will raise funds in support of the Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team.

Deputy Town Mayor, Councillor Colin Mitchell, said: “I am very grateful to the choir for staging such wonderful concerts and I look forward with great anticipation to a superb evening of entertainment on 1st November. Every member of the choir puts their heart and soul into their performances, and the energy and vibrancy they bring is always inspiring. Their concerts are a true testament to the dedication and hard work of their founder, Abbie Marsden.”

Choir leader Abbie Marsden added: “We are thrilled that the Deputy Mayor will be attending this special collaborative event. We’re also excited to be raising money for such a vital local charity. These concerts are always popular and often sell out, so we’d encourage people to book their tickets early.”

Tickets are priced from £7-£12 (plus online booking fees where applicable) and are available to purchase online. The concert will run for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, including an interval.
