 Amazing news from Nick Andrews and Friends who have raised over £1300 for the charity by singing at concerts and carols in the pubs this Christmas. Oyster member Nick is not only a lovely chap he's also a highly skilled professional musician, singer, conductor and music teacher. We are very grateful to have his support and the support of his wonderful group of friends who sing so beautifully. |  |
