Emsworth Business Association:
2011
As all members of this organisation are
situated so close to that major Army Centre on Thorney Island,
Emsworth’s Business Association had once again decided to
majestically celebrate St George’s Day, by strongly encouraging yet
another splendid Military Parade of the 47 Regiment, Royal
Artillery, which is located on this Island. This year,
it had decided – in addition – to create a few extra, highly
attractive, events in some of the town’s more conspicuous – highly
popular – locations, a resolution which aimed at emphasizing the
importance of such a major commemoration, to all Emsworth’s
residents, wherever they live, work, eat, drink and socialize.
The first of these took place within the
Spice Village Indian, Restaurant, situated in the central
Square of Emsworth – on Monday, 18th April – when
the highly-spirited group, known as Emsworth Community Singers, had
also agreed to entertain all those present by performing a
fascinating concert in this charismatic Restaurant, which – on such
an important occasion – was chock-full, all enjoying their
remarkably flavoursome food, and then – all of a sudden – the music!
Accompanied by a vibrant, electronic keyboard and led by the
melodic voice of the energetic Louise Russell, this unusually
dynamic group performed several highly harmonious songs, all of
which were of such an incredibly distinctive character that they
deserved the enthusiastic applause from all those now enjoying the
popular musical atmosphere of this restaurant.
Toward the closing stages of this
mesmerizing event,
John Wheatley

A Successful concert on Saturday 11th September
We made in excess of £1,000 for the hospices.
"The concert surpassed any ideas they had had about it and were impressed by the harmonies in the singing. They enjoyed the little introductions by Denise which they felt gave a light and amusing intro to each song.
They thought Roger fantastic and liked the piano where it was so they could see him (they were on the top balcony)
The greatest comment was that they loved the programme. Thought it had been very well put together. Their final comment was 'please do not change it and get more highbrow as they loved humming along with all the tunes'
Thanks must go to Louise for starting the group and to all the committee for their hard work making it such a success."
