Mellor's Marvellous Musical Melodies!
... and it was was indeed a marvellous musical Friday evening in church! Queueing from the lychgate, over a hundred villagers came to enjoy the music.

Plenty of variety in store! A rousing start from the choir with audience participation, followed by the choir singing music from a well known show and a stunning and moving solo performance by Ruby. Rev Jane, in costume as Mary Magdalene, sang a song from a famous musical beautifully; and Margaret B, Rita and Julie, dressed as geishas with fluttering fans, colourfully rendered a familiar operetta piece - to much laughter!

A dance mix really livened things up! Singing, dancing and arm waving, enthusiastically encouraged by our ABBA lookalikes, Helen, Debbie, Tony and Geoff!

Next up, our sparkly dressed school children sang a starry song followed by a rocky number which got us loudly "na na na-ing"! Excellent!

The instrumental group, who ably accompanied the choir at the start, also played for us before the break for refreshments.

After the break, Balderstone Brass Band, resplendent in their brand new jackets, played some favourites which sounded wonderful in our church.

Everyone joined in for a well known musical thank you - an appropriate end to a marvellous musical evening! What a night - well done all!

Thanks and bouquets closed the show which raised £2230.50 for the Church Building Fund!
