An inspirational local choir is preparing to celebrate a major milestone this month with a spectacular evening of music and comedy. Bolton Cancer Voices will mark its 14th birthday by hosting a special anniversary concert, 'Songs and Sax', to raise vital funds for its members.
Concert Details
The birthday showcase will take place on Friday, June 19, at 7.15pm at Harwood Methodist Church on Longsight. The evening promises a vibrant mix of popular, easy-listening tunes alongside a healthy dose of humour, featuring special guests Midweek Sax and local comedy legend Dr. Kevin Jones, famously known as Britain's funniest doctor.

Tickets priced at £12 are available from the ticket secretary on 01204 595562 or online at https://www.ticketsource.com/bolton-cancer-voices.
Farewell to Musical Director
The concert will be the final appearance of Katie Geelan, the choir's current musical director, who hands over the baton after almost three years with them.
Founder's Comments
Karen Elliott, founder and chair of Bolton Cancer Voices, said: 'It seems surreal to say that our inspirational choir has been filling the air with the sound of music for 14 wonderful years: we really hope people will come along and celebrate this milestone with us. We're excited to be collaborating with Midweek Sax and to have Kevin back with us: it's going to be a great night and a lovely way to bid farewell to Katie.'
Fundraising Purpose
The choir is free for members and endeavours to meet as many of the associated costs as possible for people, so events like this are important in raising necessary funds not only to run the choir but to ensure great opportunities and experiences for members. People interested in joining this vibrant, supportive choir, which welcomes anyone aged 18 and over who has received a cancer diagnosis at some point in life, should contact the number above.
