Alfreton Male Voice Choir
 
Choir Remembers World War II with Song.
A medley of war songs was brought out of the repertoire during last nights practise ahead of a performance at Tupton in north east Derbyshire on Saturday 8th June.
The Choir ‘Packed Up Its Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag’ and went ‘Over There’ to see the ‘Roses of Pickardy’ then went the ‘Long Way to Tipperary’ ensuring they ‘Kept the Home Fires Burning.’
The Choir will travel the few miles north to Tupton to help their community celebrate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the start of Operation 'Overlord' when on 6 June 1944, Allied forces launched a combined naval, air and land assault on Nazi-occupied France.
And who knows what manoeuvres the  Sagalouts’ (the Choirs answer to the Home Guard) will get up but rest assured it wil be song and laughter.
Get up to but it’ll be more song and laughter.
So pop along in the afternoon to Tuptons’ Community Garden and join in the fun.

Hope to be there..

Gone are the days when we rented a tele and if they went wrong the shop had their own engineers to come out and fix if possible.
We used Marshalls in Clay Cross for many years and they were pretty good at sending out engineers to fix things. These days it's the same as everywhere - buy a new one!
