tribution by mezzo-soprano Kate Pool, a member of the choir, who sang “Wouldn't it be lovely?” from “My Fair Lady”, and “I dreamed a dream” from “Les Miserables” and was soloist in the choir's “ Climb Every Mountain”. . Another choir member,


Richard Horn, entertained with songs to the guitar, ranging from Percy French to Benny Hill. The choir was acompanied by Janet Ismail and Jan Der­


byshire. Founder-conductor Glen Pate said: “I t was a won­ derful night. “We tried to include some­


thing for everyone, from the 1600s to the present century. “ I think we showed how


much the choir has developed since our last concert in Whal­ ley six months ago. “There were so many high­


lights, but if I had to pick out a performance from the night, it would be Beethoven's ‘Ich Hebe Dich’ because of the way the choir expressed the German words so beautifully.”
