Nearly 100 people escaped scorching heat on July 12 to spend a day singing in the cool of St Andrew’s Church in Farnham.<br />The Waverley Sing allowed the Waverley Singers to share the joy of choral singing more widely in their local community.<br />Visits from Farnham & Bordon MP Greg Stafford, Farnham mayor Cllr George Murray and the mayoress Jacoba Murray were much appreciated.<br />The choir was also grateful to Farnham Town Council for its financial support.<br />Under the direction of the choir’s conductor, Richard Pearce, and with piano playing by its regular accompanist, Jakob Rothoff, the singers got to grips with well-known songs from Porgy and Bess, West Side Story and Grease, as well as favourite opera choruses by Donizetti, Handel, Puccini and Purcell. The day concluded with a mini-performance and a large round of applause.
