The British Heart Foundation Charity Concert


Stuart and I went along to the BHF Charity Concert at St Mary's Church Shaw-cum-Donnington on Sunday evening. We were the guests of the concert organiser, Josh Smith.

I recognised a number of members of the assembled band from the Berkshire Maestros - the violinist Emily Meaney and saxophonist George Millard both performed very accomplished solos, and drummer Gillian Breach was also the musical director. A quintet of ladies called the Moonlighters sang a couple of barber shop style numbers, and also sang backing vocals for other soloists who were all aged about 12 to 18. The audience was also entertained by film projections accompanying some of the songs.

Most amazingly Josh Smith is only 14 and he had the idea for the concert and made it all happen. I was delighted to support him and all the performers - what talent!
