Showstoppers

This was a super night of entertainment with all your favourite songs from the shows that have been performed over the years by CODs. The Concert was directed by Mike Canning and was splendidly executed. This concert had everything going for it, not only a choir that sang beautifully together but superb soloists as well.

Twenty-five songs in all and twenty-one soloists! And from 'Another Openin, Another Show' right through to 'The Winner Takes it All! the concert sparkled.

'Send in the Clowns' was superbly performed as was 'Belle the Sleeping Car' sung by Gillian Mackenzie and soloist Stephanie Morgan almost stopped the show with her rendition of 'She Used to be Mine'.

'Bring Him Home' soloists, Jason Bomford, Andy Kirby and Barrie Stimson - The Three Fivers, was a showstopper with three tremendous voices really great to listen to.

'Tell Me It’s Not True' was magical, as was Johnnie Wood singing 'Being Alive'. What a quality voice. The rendition of 'All that Jazz' was a joy and soloists Buffy Fouracre and Nicki Wilkes singing 'For Good' were just great.

The very talented Ian Crew did very well, as always as did the rest of the musicians and I must congratulate Sam Hatchell on key board. He will go far.

I just did not want the evening to end. There are many performing societies but not all could bring together such a variety of members and turn them into a splendid choir.

Thank you to all concerned, especially Mike Canning for his inspired and inspiring direction… a wonderful Concert and even greater hospitality. Thanks again CODS.
