MUSIC-MINDED people are being urged to join a community music-making event in Rugby on Saturday July 6.
St Andrew’s Church is urging musicians, singers, and anyone who just wants to listen, to join the bid to play three hours of continuous music.
Running from 10am to 1pm, It is free to attend with a voluntary retiring collection for the Rotary Music Bursaries Trust, which helps young people with the cost of music lessons, and supports music projects in partnership with the Warwickshire Music Hub.
People are invited to drop in at any time.
Organiser Rex Pogson said: “It is a fun event – not a competition or a daunting formal occasion. There will be accompanists there all morning, so if you want to sing or play your instrument as a soloist, for one minute or more, bring your music and enjoy the occasion.
“If you’d like to join in a sing-song, there’s that chance too. If you just want to listen, there’ll be no requirement to play or sing.”
STAMP collectors will be delivering themselves to Warwickshire Event Centre this weekend.
The MIDPEX Stamp Fair takes place at the venue off the Fosse Way near Leamington on Saturday (July 6), from 10am to 4.30pm.
