You are invited to the free: Concert for Tony

A free musical extravaganza can be enjoyed by everyone at the 'Concert for Tony' on Saturday 22nd July from 1pm to 3pm at All Saints Church, Milford on Sea.

The concert will feature the music of Milford on Sea choirs and singers:

Total Voice Contemporary Choir singing a mix of rock and pop songs. Today the choir has 65 members and offers inspirational music, fun and friendship within our community.

Milford Choralia is a chamber choir of 30 based in the village. They have a broad repertoire ranging from Bach to present-day musicals showcasing joyous music.

Straight Banana are a multi talented a cappella group of five ladies with a repertoire of truly eclectic songs.

The concert will also feature a song written by Tony's son Matt. who performs internationally as Aqualung. Matt shot to fame in 2002 after his debut single, Strange and Beautiful, was used in a Volkswagen TV advert. Matt has released numerous albums, and won a Grammy Award in 2020. 

His love of music had come from Tony, who had run a record shop for many years.

The concert is a charity event and all cash raised will be donated to Oakhaven Hospice in memory of Tony Hales. Please add the date to your diary.

Tony was a long time member of Total Voice Choir, Milford Choralia, West Gallery Choir and a regular volunteer at the Community Centre (Now The Bridge). He was a big part of Village life – someone who would always say ‘Yes’ and do whatever he could to help. Tony bore his illness with great spirit and his strength and character were an inspiration which is why we want to make this an event to honour his memory.

The concert is a celebration of Tony's life, so it will include many of his favourite songs 

The concert organisers appreciate know these are difficult times but please give whatever cash you can (sorry they don’t have a card machine!).

Everyone is invited, so come along to enjoy an afternoon of uplifting music with beautiful harmonies and a touch of humour.

Grateful thanks go to All Saints Church and Terry Bufton for their help in organising this event.
