several of their favourite pieces to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

During the last year in particular our group has been hit hard by cancer, with many
undergoing treatments. Sadly we lost one of our members to this disease, but

do something that would make a difference, but also raise the spirits of our
community, friends and family - so we are going to sing!

Tickets are available via our website www.phoenixsingersleek.co.uk, via any of our
choir members, Leek Post office, or Picture Book
