CLIC for Christmas concert
On Saturday 5th December this year, La La Choirs will perform ‘CLIC for Christmas’ at Exeter Cathedral in aid of CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people.
As well as performances by La La Choirs, we are thrilled to have Rebecca Newman joining us (www.rebeccanewman.co.uk) - Rebecca's album 'Dare To Dream' shot straight to number 1 in the classical charts and she has performed with the likes of Russell Watson and Alfie Boe. We also have two acts who have themselves been supported by CLIC Sargent and The Park Community school choir from Barnstaple who are the winners of our Devonwide school choir competition.
Tickets are available from www.lalachoirs.co.uk/calendar/tickets and cost only £10 for adults and £5 for under 16s.
About La La Choir
La La is a family of community choirs that are open to anyone and everyone (18+). Our music ranges from pop to rock, soul to choral.
La La Choirs began in Lympstone in September 2008 and is run by Sam Abrahams. It is a very popular and there are now four choirs with over 250 members on the books, who meet every week. The ethos of the choir is simple: if you like singing and enjoy having a laugh then this choir is for you. Whether it’s weekly, monthly or just when you can, you are always welcome.
Sam also ran the Lympstone Milwives Choir who featured on the first and second Military Wives Albums and performed with Russell Watson, Katherine Jenkins, in front of the Queen, selecting girls to perform at the Jubilee concert in London and record the ‘Sing’ EP. Sam began working with the Milwives when she directed a surprise song for Gareth Malone on the final episode of the three part series.
About CLIC Sargent
CLIC Sargent is the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. Today, 10 children and young people, and their families, will have life as they know it turned upside down by the news they have cancer.
Since 2005, CLIC Sargent has been there for thousands of children, young people and families. We help them cope with the shock of diagnosis and the often intense treatment that follows. We help them deal with the devastating emotional, practical and financial impact of cancer. And we help empower them to feel like people rather than patients, supporting families to hand on to a sense of normality when their world has been ripped apart.
Last year we supported 53 families in Devon and fund specialist nurses and social workers across the county. We are currently only able to help two out of three children and young people with cancer across the UK with our vital support. Our aim is to be there for every child and young person when they need us most. www.clicsargent.org.uk
