inTune Choir is Going Blue for ME Awareness Day at Wheal Martyn, St Austell, Cornwall 3pm on Saturday May 12th

[Liv aka Mrs Sowester]

We've organised a performance to raise awareness and funds for ME at Wheal Martyn, China Clay Museum, St Austell, Cornwall. We hope that people with ME, their families, carers, friends and members of the public will come along to listen, connect and celebrate the amazing strength and resilience of the ME community.

Wheal Martyn is a peaceful site, set in acres of woodland. It's free to park, enter the café, atrium, gift shop and picnic area, all areas are accessible to wheelchairs. There is a fee to look around the museum, most of which is accessible.
The licensed café caters very well for special dietary requirements and has Vegan and vegetarian, dairy and gluten free menus.

The atrium, where the choir will perform if it's raining, is naturally lit. If the weather is nice we'll sing outside in the picnic area.

I'd be incredibly grateful if you could help me promote the event, on Facebook, Twitter, in local support groups and by sharing with people you know in Cornwall who might be persuaded to come along.

Find Wheal Martyn at https://www.wheal-martyn.com/visit-us/find-us/
And inTune choir at http://www.intunechoir.co.uk/

We will be collecting for the ME Association, Registered charity no. 801279
* The bottom of the poster should read ME Association, not ME Awareness.

LIVESTREAM UPDATE:

Sounds wonderful. Shame no livestream.
Wishing you well and hope that it achieves more than you hope for.

 

[Liv aka Mrs Sowester]

@Amw66 I think we will be able to livestream to Facebook and link it to here, but haven't got it organised yet so I don't want to make any promises, just in case.

 

[Amw66]

That would be fab if it happens. Looks fantastic and i ' m sure the singing will be even better.
If not this year, there is always next year

 

[Graham]

Great stuff. It's a shame that the choir website and the Wheal Martyn website have not yet included it on their programmes, or I could pass the link on.

 

[Invisible Woman]

I'll be with you all in spirit. I hope it all goes well. Please pass my thanks to your choir @Liv aka Mrs Sowester. An event like this takes a lot of work.

Thank you!

Hehe, thank you. And there was me thinking the blue lippy makes me look like I have a heart condition!

 

[Liv aka Mrs Sowester]

Bump!

And a reminder that the performance will be livestreamed here at 3pm:
https://www.facebook.com/intunechoircornwall/
for anyone who wants to join in and sing along (or just laugh at me blubbering like a Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars)!

Set list includes Bridge Over Troubled Water, Somebody to Love (Queen), Rhythm of Life (from Sweet Charity) and One Day More (from Les Miserables).

 

[Trish]

That sounds like it's going to be wonderful @Liv aka Mrs Sowester .

Not sure if I dare listen - Bridge over Trouble Water is my crying song! It came out in 1970 and I was suffering from a broken heart - every time it came on the radio I cried my eyes out

Have a great concert.

 

[Binkie4]

Thanks @Liv aka Mrs Sowester.
Will try to listen to the livestream but will it be posted for a later listen? Good luck.

Sounds really good @Liv aka Mrs Sowester please pass on a thank you to all the women in the choir for doing this for us (I'm not on facebook)

 

[Jan]

Weren't they brilliant?! @Liv aka Mrs Sowester a truly amazing performance, you sound like a choir

of angels. I'm so glad I was able to be there with you today, you guys are awesome!

 

[Invisible Woman]

Only managed to listen to a little bit (sound sensitive) but I tried to catch a bit of each song. Very, very good!

Thanks @Liv aka Mrs Sowester and the inTune Choir.
