The choir took pride in their county by performing a concert to celebrate Sussex Day on 16^th June with traditional songs and poems plus songs from the 70s.

The audience were treated to a diverse programme of popular numbers ranging from Country to Rock, Pop and Movie greats with songs originally performed by such artistes as Queen, Barbara Streisand, Neil Diamond, John Denver, The Carpenters, The Bee Gees, Elton John and many more.

The 50 strong choir wore bright coloured tops with black trousers or skirts to reflect the colourful nature of the songs performed with the church decorated with bunting and the Sussex flag.

The evening was attended by Chairman of the Arun District Council Cllr Alan Gammon who has been instrumental in promoting Sussex Day.

Also attending was the Mayor of Littlehampton, Billy Blanchard-Cooper, who said “The programme for this concert saw them combine traditional Sussex folk songs and poems, interspersed with popular hits from the 70s including numbers from Grease and Saturday Night Fever. As always the group were under the musical direction of James Rushman and produced a delightful uplifting experience. I particularly enjoyed the opening number The Candy Man and lovely harmonies performed in numbers such as Annie’s Song and Bohemian Rhapsody”.

Profit from this concert were shared between our charities for the year to July 2018 - 4Sight, Chichester Stroke Club, Children on the Edge and the Parkinson’s UK. 

The concert was performed again for the Yapton and District Cottage Gardeners' Society on 20th July at the Yapton Village Hall.
