The Rotary Club of Frome is promoting a concert by the Caerphilly Male Voice Choir at Frome Memorial Theatre on Saturday 15th June to raise money for local man, Josh Payne-Gover, who crushed his neck and back in an accident last year.
The Rotary Club says, “The Frome Times has previously covered the story of the unfortunate accident that happened to Josh Payne-Gover.
“Josh is still undergoing physiotherapy at Odstock. That physio could be done locally if Josh had somewhere to live. He is well past his discharge date from Odstock, but cannot leave because he currently has no suitable accommodation that can cater for his needs and those of his full-time carer/s. Efforts are continuing to try and resolve this situation but it is unlikely that anywhere can be provided before December. For sure, Josh is going to need some funding just to help him stay sane whilst in hospital.
“SIA (Spinal Injuries Association) believe that everyone has a right to live a fulfilled life and that means the life that they choose, a life that has the same opportunities as everyone else. These beliefs have informed the development of their strategic plan. More information can be found at www.spinal.co.uk The SIA has been advising and helping Josh where possible.
“The Caerphilly Male Voice Choir (CMVC) leader, Tony Powell, said that they are delighted to be able to do this concert in aid of these two very worthy causes. The Frome Memorial Theatre is also providing services at a very preferential rate.
“The concert will feature a mixed programme and along with popular MVC pieces, some with new arrangements, there will be songs from popular musicals and great song choices from the guest soloist, Cheryl Roberts. Immediately after the concert, the choir will reassemble in the Frome Assembly Rooms bar where no doubt there will be some impromptu singing. Patrons are welcome to join them in this afterglow.
“The concert starts at 7.30 pm on Saturday 15th June. All tickets are £12.50 and are on sale from the Memorial Theatre box office (01373 462795) or online at www.fmt.website
