| GOLDEN YEAR: The Singers with Mayor of Solihull, Coun Mike Robinson |
CASTLE Bromwich Singers are preparing to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
The group have raised tens of thousands for various good causes since first forming in 1967.
Their inaugural concert came three years later at Arden Hall and featured “John Leedham and his Xylophone.”
Almost half a century on, the troupe are putting the final touches to their new show, for which they will be joined by Spectrum Vocal Harmony Group, Duncan McLaurie and Chris Beebee.
The concert - which will be raising money for the John Taylor Hospice - is to take place at the Highbury Theatre Centre, Sutton Coldfield, on April 2.
Tickets £6 each from Greg (07825 969298) or Stella (0121 748 7635).
1967 - the way things were:
* Harold Wilson was half-way through his first term as Prime Minister.
* The Beatles release the seminal album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
* The last "amateur" Wimbledon tennis tournament takes place.
* Royal yacht the QE2 is launched at Clydebank.
* England football captain Bobby Moore is made an OBE.
