FOR more than 80 years St Helens Gilbert & Sullivan Society has entertained us raising money for charity in the process.

But now there’s a name change and a new era emerging with the launch of The St Helens Singers.

This group will perform four-part harmonies with an exciting and varied repertoire with songs from the shows, country and classical yet maintaining a link to its Gilbert & Sullivan roots.

Look out for them in a concert at St Helens Town Hall in September, a commemoration of the centenary of the start of the First World War.

Singers’ secretary, Marie Holden is on 01744 612485, or email her on info@sthelens singers.co.uk, or visit sthelenssingers.co.uk
