Vox Holloway

Harvey has made some changes to the score.
The updated version is available on the PROTECTED:MEMBERS page.

Not actually the new score.              Sorry

A sparkling selection of music from Medieval to Gothic to Jazz.

Very special guest Liane Carroll and her trio will be accompanied by the 100 plus voices of VOX on original songs and standards

(Skylark, Memphis in June and others arranged by Harvey Brough)

The rest of the programme will consist of English Partsongs by Stanford and Sullivan & Sea Pictures, Sir Edward Elgars masterpiece for Contralto and orchestra, newly arranged for choir, featuring James Murray playing Elgars elegant and elaborate piano part.

There will be a delicious paella feast available at the interval, please select a ticket option “with paella” to buy.

Doors open 6:30pm

I hear East Anglia is lovely at this time of year, and the wonderful Harvey and the Wallbangers are performing at the Bury St Edmunds Festival on the 27th May

The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that this is actually the Old Church in Stoke Newington

 Saturday 13 May, 10am – 4pm

St Luke’s are looking for volunteers to come and help with some maintenance jobs around the church on Saturday 13 May. As I’m sure you’ll agree, Vox Holloway is very lucky to be able to rehearse and perform in such a beautiful space, but lots of work is needed to care for the building. There are a variety of jobs, from tidying to painting and they will be providing a lunch. You can turn up at any time and stay for an hour or longer – whatever suits. It is a nice social day and any time you are able to spare would be gratefully received!
