Springsong attracts 80

Peninsula Choir and the Gosford City Brass Band performed Springsong in Ettalong for more than 80 guests on September 28.

"A winning combination of great music (ancient, modern and in-between) was presented by the Peninsula Choir of Woy Woy with the Gosford City Brass Band," publicity officer Ms Barbara Firth said.

"We attracted a full house at the Ettalong Baptist Church."

Ms Firth said proceeds from the event were donated to the religious education ministries in public schools in the Peninsula area.

"Choir conductor Ivan Kinny conceived the title of this unique concert four years ago," Ms Firth said.

"Leader of the band Mark Downy and Ivan introduced the musical items and the concert ended with the audience participating in some well-known songs including I Still Call Australia Home and Auld Lang Syne.

"This has proved to be very popular and inspirational entertainment for the Peninsula community."
