Are you looking to organise a
special evening for your fund-raising or social event?
On the last Saturday of April your
Editor was privileged to attend a concert by Opus 3 in Blankney Church.
Opus 3 comprises Dennis Channon
(baritone/piano), Gill West (soprano) and Jane Foster (flute/piano). Dennis and
Gill are father and daughter. Jane lives in Metheringham and has introduced
music to many local youngsters.
The trio began performing together
some two years ago and, finding themselves increasingly in demand, felt that a
name was needed – so “Opus 3” was founded following a successful
appearance at the Mayor of North Hykeham’s charity Gala in February last year.
The music offered by Opus 3 ranges
widely from light classical to a speciality “Showtime” comprising songs from West End and Broadway musicals, arranged for voice(s) and/or flute with
piano.
Opus 3 is available for functions large or small,
for entertainment and fund-raising events. So, if you want music from Bach to
the Beatles and everything(!) in between, contact Dennis on 378446 or Jane
on 321889 to discuss your requirements.

Healthy Eating?
With the growing trend towards
“organic” food, more companies are now importing naturally grown fruits,
nuts and other products from relatively inaccessible corners of the world. Whereas these items were once difficult to get hold of, they are now to
be found at various outlets in our own area.
If you’re looking for something different, they
might be worth a try. As well as possibly doing your health a favour, you would
be helping poorer countries to develop a sustainable economy.
