Musical Choir For Fundraising Needed

YOUR CHANCE TO RECORD WITH MAGGIE MOONE

Ever fancied singing? An exciting opportunity has arisen for the people of the Midlands to take part in the latest collaboration between singing sensation Maggie Moone and Matthew Jones Music…

Young musician and entrepreneur Matthew Jones has recently signed with the 80’s star of light-entertainment (best known as the resident singer on ITV’s ‘Name That Tune‘) to record an album of songs by the legendary lyricist Don Black in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Don Black, who will be celebrating his 70th Birthday this year, discovered Birmingham-born Maggie Moone some 30 years ago and is renowned globally for songs such as ‘Ben’, ‘Born Free’, ‘Sam’, ‘To Sir, With Love’ and the musicals ‘Aspects Of Love’, ‘Bombay Dreams’, ‘Starlight Express’, ‘Sunset Boulevard’ not to mention his ‘James Bond’ success.

Matthew Jones Music are looking for people of all ages, with and without singing experience to form a choir - a real ‘must’ for those who enjoy a challenge and have a passion for fund-raising.

Matthew Jones has had much experience in training ‘non-singers’ to a high, professional standard - most notably in his productions of ‘Mozart’s Coronation Mass’, ‘Faure’s Requiem’ and ‘Vivaldi’s Gloria’ staged at some of the UK’s finest venues.

Rehearsals for this large-scale, full-orchestral recording commence on Wednesday 5th March (in the Birmingham area, Venue TBC) and kick-starts a 12-week schedule prior to the recording sessions at the prestigious Ingestre Hall, Staffordshire from 23rd to 25th May.
