I adored the summer singing courses in my teens, so I’ve donated to Tom & Joe’s challenge to help their young singers take part in @GabrieliCandP ROAR residential this summer. If you can too, please do!
Please help us raise £5k to subsidise our brilliant young singers take part in @GabrieliCandP @Paul_McCreesh ROAR this summer! Joe and I are going to climb some hills...all donations received with huge gratitude, they really will make a difference! justgiving.com/page/tom-leec…
