At Knightswicks April 2022 meeting we had the pleasure of a wonderful musical evening ‘Les Mis to Lion King ‘ performed by Martyn Harrison. Martyn has the most amazing voice and his renditions of a variety of musicals was excellent.  Jokes and stories about his time in the musical theatre were very interesting. Pictured above with the competition winner of the evening.
 Thanks for a very,  very enjoyable evening.

Leigh U3A -  March 2022
"At our meeting this month, we were treated to an afternoon of nostalgia by Martyn Harrison, a retired professional tenor. Martyn opened our first meeting since lockdown last September with a selection of numbers from the musicals. This time, however, he sang a medley of songs which he called the Platinum Jubilee Chorus, in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, with each song commemorating an event or time during her reign. Songs included Rule Britannia, Jerusalem, You’ll Never Walk Alone, his version of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Little List, People Will Say We’re in Love, Daisy Daisy, and a rousing finale of Land of Hope & Glory. I think we all came away feeling quite uplifted."
