Hi Folks, the South Brighton Voices (formerly South Brighton Choral Society) will be holding their next concert on Sunday 27th May, commencing 2.00 p.m., and this time it will be held at the new Opawa Community Church, on the corner of Aynsley Terrace and Opawa Road. 
I have attached a copy of the poster, advertising the concert, and I had wondered why the word "Hair" was included in the title but, as we are singing "Aquarius" in the concert, I understand that this comes from the stage production of "Hair".  We have a lovely varied programme for the concert, and as is our usual practise, afternoon tea will be served after the concert.  See you there!
