Harmony .Kings perform in Seaforth Nov. 26
Susan Hundertmark
Choruses from London, Mount
Forest, Strathroy and St. Thomas
will be joining the Seaforth
Harmony Kings to help raise money
for the Seaforth Community
Hospital Foundation on Nov 26.
While each chorus will sing indi-
vidually and offer selections from
their barbershop quartets, a mass
chorus of 110 voices will end the
concert with a medley of Christmas
songs.
"Everyone is very excited about
doing the show. We'd love to fill the
place," says Barry Mahon, a mem-
ber of the Harmony Kings who is
helping to organize the concert.
The concert will be held at
Northside United Church at 1:59
p.m.
A local quartet, made up of Dave
Campbell, Don and Lindsay Sills
and Laura Elligsen will also sing,
but not in the barbershop style.
All proceeds will go towards the
Seaforth
Community
Hospital
Foundation.
