MS Charity Concert, Didcot

The Wantage Silver Band, conducted by Phil Bailey, gave its third annual concert in aid of Multiple Sclerosis Charities in the Didcot Civic Hall on Saturday 6th February. A packed hall enjoyed a great concert, which featured guest artist Chris Passey, star of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat' who, in addition to singing songs from the show, performed one of his own compositions.

The Concert was organised by Eddie Yarker, baritone player in the Wantage Band and himself a victim of MS, who performed a solo during the concert, much appreciated by the audience.
