ST HELENS STAR - MAY 2007

Ladies with a song in their hearts By Alan Whalley

THEIR name is a bit of a mouthful - the Rainford Ladies Ecumenical Choir - but their 30 combined voices can lift you with sheer bliss.

And it was to a house-full attendance that the girls presented their Spring Songtime (in unexpected summer-like evening heat!) to raise funds for the village walking day.

The choir attraction proved so popular that the show, in the parish hall, was sold out even before admission tickets were printed! Parents, friends and musical admirers piled in from many towns around - even including the Wirral.

And the man the all-female singers look up to is musical genius Martin Weston, an accomplished pianist and a former head singer with the Westminster Abbey choristers, who deftly conducted the programme, and later did a solo spot, with keyboard and voice, harking back to the 1970s-80s. Even his mother, Maureen, a member of the choir, had to follow Martin's spot-on conducting role.

The show programme was a delight for lovers of big shows and of George Gershwin, with some appealing solos and duets. Solos came from Gillian Waywell, Patricia Forber, Jackie Keogh and Linda Hunter, with duets from Jennifer Littler and droll master of ceremonies, David Burgess, Elaine Stabler and Maureen Weston. Accompanist was Ruth Birchall.

ALL in all, a great night.
