TCK 2015 Gala Concert Resume
Wow! What a night...
Seven choirs and a full-house on Saturday March 28th ensured the top Choir Kent Gala Concert 2015 was the hotest ticket in town.
The line-up included past winners and runners-ups of the previous five Top Choir Kent competitions.
Top Choir Kent isn't just about raising money for charities, important though that is, it's also about promoting singing and live performance. So, because this year was a Gala Concert rather than a competition, we used the 5oth anniversary of the Beatles hit, "HELP", as the theme: "Helping us to raise money for charities".
The Gala Concert was compered by BBC TV presenter, Bryony Mackenzie.
