After a brief appearance at the flower festival last year, The Newstead Abbey Singers are returning to Seagrave with a mixed programme of songs, old and new. As well as the old Shaker song The gift to be simple, the programme will includeMy spirit sang all day; O Danny boy; and I do like to be beside the seaside. It will also feature instrumental pieces for flute and piano. Tickets are available from Ruth King ([email protected] or 814468) or on the door at £10 each and include interval refreshments. Proceeds will be in aid of church repairs, including fixing the North porch. A test pit was dug in late January and we await the engineer’s assessment of what is required!
