Mountbatten Isle of Wight is celebrating another successful, audience-packed choir showcase and we are inviting you to join our popular singing group.

On 6 November, concert-goers were treated to a bit of escapism from the wintery weather, thanks to the theme of Nature and Birds.

Around 60 Isle of Wight-based singers performed a variety of songs, including Blackbird, Fly Me to the Moon and Waterloo Sunset.

Mountbatten Isle of Wight's John Cheverton Centre community space threw open its doors, welcoming scores of guests for the awareness and fundraising event.
