The concert will feature an hour of pop songs people will know and love, sung by the inspirational and uplifting Hailsham Voices Community Pop Choir. Songs performed will range from The Animals to Bruno Mars, all arranged in three-part-harmony by the choir's leader, Abbie Marsden.
A retiring collection will be held at the end of the concert in aid of St Wilfrid's Hospice.
Town Mayor Councillor Paul Holbrook, delighted to be invited to attend the concert along with his wife and consort Cllr Barbara Holbrook, said: "I've attended many of the Hailsham Voices' concerts to date and enjoyed every single one of them. I am very grateful to the choir for staging such wonderful concerts, and I look forward avidly to a superb evening of entertainment for us all on 17th May."
"Every member of the choir always put their heart and soul into event performances. The energy and vibrancy of their concerts are always inspiring - and a tribute to the dedication and hard work of its founder, Abbie Marsden."
Choir leader Abbie Marsden commented: "We are thrilled that the mayor will be attending our concert. He has supported our choir from the outset, and we are most grateful for his continued support."
"Also, we are looking forward to raising lots of money for such a wonderful charity, St Wilfrid's Hospice. These concerts always sell out, so don't leave it too late to get your tickets!"
