What do you get when you put together 3 teachers, 1 bank clerk and a benefits manager and then add in a musical director who between them all have acted or sung in and directed many musicals, some being National Amateur & Dramatic Operatic ward winners in the Eastern region???
The answer....
A new singing group called Merely Divas!!
Based in the South Norfolk town of Diss, Merely Divas is made up of singers Lisa Adamson, Sally Arnold, Kate Dann, Pippa King & Karen Stephenson with musical direction/accompaniment by Michael.
The Merely Divas will be performing their first concert at St Mary’s Church Diss on Saturday 12 July, starting at 7:30pm. The concert will feature many popular songs from the shows along with some less well know pieces.
“We’re looking to perform the songs in a relaxed but still professional style,” said Lisa Adamson, whose initial idea it was to form Merely Divas. She added that “Rehearsals for the concert are going really well and we can promise the audience a great night out while raising money for a very good cause!”
The concert will be raising money for Cancer Research UK and it is hoped that the response from this their first concert will result in other similar concerts being held in the future, also raising money for local and national charities.
The Merely Divas would also like to hear from any local businesses or companies that may be interested in sponsoring their performance to enable them to hand over as much money to Cancer Research UK as possible – please use the box office number or the email address below if you able to help.
Tickets for the concert on 12 July are priced at £7 each and available from Chix Clothing Company, Market Place, Diss or by calling the box office on 01379 741854 or by emailing the Merely Divas by clicking here
