The combined Lion Clubs of Camborne/Redruth and Truro came together to fundraise for the Cornwall Hospice Care by organising a Grand Concert at Redruth Methodist Church.

Who better to ensure that the concert was a success than the City of Truro Male Choir (MD Russell Pascoe, Accompanist Martin Davies) and Fourlanes Male Choir (MD Tim Hosken Accompanist Tania Lord).

Also taking part, and as a complete contrast, were the Ritzy Belles, a Cornish based harmony group, who performed and sang vintage style harmonies.

The grand concert was chaired by Tamsin Thomas former Radio Cornwall presenter and now PR and fundraiser for the Cornwall Hospice Care.

Truro Lion President Alan Chick said that the evening was very successful and he thanked the sponsors Wheal Jane Ltd, Warren’s Bakery and Cornish Mutual Assurance. He thanked the choirs and Ritzy Belles for their splendid entertainment and in particular, the Ritzy Belles, who donated their fee to the Cornwall Hospice.

Before presenting Tamsin Thomas with a bouquet Lion's President Alan Chick said that it was anticipated that £1,000 would be donated to the Cornwall Hospice.
