When: Saturday, October 14, 7.30pm

The award-winning Wessex Male Choir will be performing in St Lawrence Church, Lechlade, on Saturday, October 14.

Also performing will be local pianist Thomas Graff from Faringdon and a group known locally as TATT (Tunes at The Trout). The choir's chamber group will also perform.

Wessex Male Choir have special permission to perform Giorgio Susanna's emotional work Io Resto Qui, The concert also includes a range of gorgeous new songs and arrangements.

Tom Graff has been appointed principal accompanist to Wessex Male Choir. This will be his first public appearance with the choir in Lechlade and will be playing several piano pieces. 

Tom is a licentiate of the Royal School of Music and has played at a range of venues including the Welsh Millennium Centre.

TATT is a group of musicians who meet informally at The Trout in Lechlade; think of them as a "pop up" band. Their musical style is predominantly instrumental traditional folk but they encompass composers ranging from 16th century to more modern artists and feature fiddle, accordion, flute, recorder, guitar, mandolin and percussion.

Wessex Choir's musical director, Rhiannon Williams-Hale, said: "This is a fabulous opportunity for the Lechlade audience to hear the choir and gives local talent an opportunity to perform with them.

"Wessex has a lively performance with fabulous lighting and stagecraft that helps bring the music to life - Wessex is not your average male choir!'

Tickets are on sale from Lechlade Post Office at £15 (under 16s £5). All proceeds will go to the Lechlade Memorial Hall Fund.
