“A pianist and organist, he supports deaf people to enjoy music and to achieve their potential through signing. He has signed at The Proms and stage shows including Les Miserables, Cats and My Fair Lady and many more.

“The soloists will be Beth Emery (soprano), Victoria Shone (alto), Christopher Larley (tenor) and Tim Hicks (bass).

“The Rowland Singers Choral Society, 65 strong, will be accompanied by the Sinfonia of Arun, one of the south’s leading orchestras, who regularly perform with various choral societies.

“The Rowland Singers Choral Society is a registered charity which supports other charities by means of their concerts.

“The chosen charity for this concert is Action on Hearing Loss, which helps people confronting deafness by enabling them to take control of their lives. They will benefit from the proceeds of a raffle and a retiring bucket collection.

“This special one-off performance takes place on April 19 at 7pm at Worthing Assembly Hall, Stoke Abbott Road, Worthing. Tickets cost £14 and are available by telephoning 01903 206206.”
