Somercotes Choral Society performing Songs for All Seasons

Jen, the Choral Society’s Chairwoman, says: “This will be the second performance we have given in the village hall. In April we had a full house and a very appreciative audience.
“As the title suggests we are taking a trip through the seasons to give a varied programme of light music which should appeal to everyone.”
Songs include: ‘Over the Rainbow,’ Stormy Weather,’ Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer,’ ‘Summertime’ and many more.
