Love Changes Everything - The men of the Esk Community Choir

To find happiness, first one must know to sing.  Songs have a way of whispering in ears to calm a raging soul, to catch hearts when either falling broken or falling in love and, with love being the essence of this occasion, what more idyllic a setting to sing on a day which sparkled, than from inside the quaint little white Chapel on the Green at Say ‘I do’ in Somerset.

Amid all the colours of Spring, songs of love sung by members of the Esk Community Choir in solo, duet and ensemble rang from within to meld with the eye-catching outside displays of all things ‘Wedding’.  To the flawless accompaniment by Alexis and Margaret, a small audience was delivered an injection of romance with Carolyn’s heart-warming Wonderful, Wonderful Day, a touch of tenderness from Marina and Brian’s When I Fall in Love and the poignancy of Love is a Many Splendid Thing beautifully sung by Kathie and Bob.

 If people weren’t loved-up enough by then, Susie and Eric’s impassioned performance of Live With Somebody You Love would certainly have achieved the objective and the Choir Ensemble’s emotive Sabbath Prayer followed by the Men’s Love Changes Everything could surely have had either paramour popping the question.  In a sweet harmony of sounds, The Sweethearts of Song encapsulated the mood with Chapel of Love and The Wedding with Kathleen at the helm.

Later, it appeared that the extraordinary talents of some Choir Members did not just stop at the quire when our chic choir chicks, Kathleen, Marina, Carolyn, Joann and Judy joined with other models to strut their stuff on the Say ‘I do’ in Somerset Catwalk, stepping out in the gorgeous Spring collections from Tiffany’s Boutique in Gatton.  Clearly evident to all who came to enjoy the day was that singing, style and sunshine in the Somerset was a match made in Heaven!
