Savoy Singers are returning to the Gisborne Uniting Church on Sunday, June 18, for a concert fundraiser for the church.

The group will be performing at 2pm to share their musical talent, with most of the group members having performed with Melbourne’s Savoy Opera company and other leading musical theatre companies.

Savoy Singers spokesperson James Johnston said the group last performed at the church in 2018 and is delighted to be returning.

“The reception and response from the audience was wonderful and we have very warm memories of that occasion,” Mr Johnston said.

“We had planned to return in 2021 but were thwarted by the restrictions surrounding the COVID pandemic.

“We relish the invitation to come back to this fantastic venue and perform once more for the people of Gisborne.”

The Savoy Singers have been providing entertainment to a huge variety of community and fundraising groups for well over 45 years.

This fundraising history includes groups such as; Anti-Cancer Council, Red Cross, Save The Children Fund and many churches, hospitals and community groups.

Tickets for the concert can be purchased at the door, and afternoon tea will be provided following the performance.
