Rose Room Concert

“This concert featuring tenor Richard Lane and pianist/ singer John Martin, will be a highly pleasing and fulfilling mixture of musical genres.
Great hits of Mario Lanza and other favourites from the tenor repertoire will be performed by Richard with his glorious voice, while John will present a mixed bag including the odd classical and ragtime piano solos, a song or two by Noel Coward, some original items, some Australiana, and the premiere of a new work by popular local celebrity Ann Carr-Boyd.
Our audience will be made comfortable with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with light refreshments and drinks to follow, where attendees can meet and chat with the artists.”

Publicity written by John Martin for the Rose Room concert which is on Sunday February 23rd at 2.30 pm
