Choir will look ‘high and low’ for new ‘Divas’
FUNDRAISING songstresses The Diamond Divas are looking to recruit some new members to their fun-loving ranks.
Over the past 12 years, the Highcliffe-based choir’s performances have raised over £70,000 for Macmillan Caring Locally (MCL), the charity which supports the Macmillan Unit hospice at Christchurch Hospital.
The ladies perform light-hearted music, usually adding a comic poem, in return for donations to the charity, and as well as appearing at care homes, clubs and churches across the area, have also entertained the crowds at MCL events including its Big Birthday Bash at Tuckton Tea Gardens last summer and the Unit’s Carol Concerts.
Choir coordinator Josie Spicer said: “We would love to hear from ladies who like to sing and could dedicate time each Thursday evening to rehearse in Highcliffe. We give frequent performances across Christchurch and the surrounding areas and we have a brilliant pianist Terry, who does his best to keep us in order and in the right key!”
Diamond Divas put the emphasis firmly on enjoying themselves.
“You don’t have to have had professional training or have even sung in a choir before to join us,” added Josie.
“If you can hold a tune and would like to be part of our continuing mission to raise as much money as possible for this wonderful charity, we would love to hear from you.”
