Not long to go now before the unique to Birmingham Gilbert and Sullithon takes place at the city’s beautiful Town Hall. All of G & S’s works will be sung end to end in an ensemble scratch concert performance by groups drawn from a total complement of 100 participants.
So far as I know the only other instance of a Sullithon was also in Birmingham about twenty years ago at Carr’s Lane Church and was organised by the same team - still going strong!
There’s still just time If you’re interested in taking part as a singer or musician, (or attending for all or part of this as an audience member tickets just £5.00) please contact the organisers Phil & Kathy Lovell by telephone on 0121-243-9896 or by email to:
philandkathy@blueyonder.co.uk
The Lady Mayoress will be singing along in the chorus in several operettas and the Lord Mayor is due to make a guest appearance in Ruddigore sometime after 5-20pm. Ahem! All proceeds will go to the Lord Mayor’s charity appeal.
After some opening words by the Lord Mayor, the event will be introduced by Ed Doolan and starts at 10.00am on Saturday the 13th of February and will finish around 8.00am on Sunday the 14th. A cafe will be open throughout so do come along to be part of this bit of local history - see you there!
