THREE PEAKS,THREE CHOIRS,ONE VOICE,ONE MIND
150 singers participated in climbing the 3 Peaks - Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon.... some physically and some virtually (à la Captain Tom) singing at the summits to raise their voices and money for "Mind" and other choir charities.
Helen Swift (MD) and Jonathan French (pianist) lead the challenge climbing Ben Nevis (4,413 feet) and Scafell Pike (3,281 feet) on 25th/26th September and Snowdon (3,560 feet) on 11th October with a keyboard to sing at the top!! Hundreds of singers joined to walk the 22,110 steps either in person or virtually in their homes, villages and towns.
Covid 19 has devastated the musical communities that once thrived in our country. Many singers have been isolated in their homes since March and are still shielding. They have not been able to leave the house in six months!! Singing together for so many of us is so much more than a hobby, it's a lifeline, a community, a family. Singing with others balances our mental and physical health and Corona Virus is destroying our choirs and communities that have been built up over 100 years.
