This year, two of our members can celebrate over 60 years singing with Southend Bach Choir. Jean Restorick and Pam Wall both joined the choir as teenagers when rehearsals were held at Southend Municipal College with Dr. Harold May.

In the following decade, Ken Treverton, Christine Smith and John Wall (later to become Pam’s huband!) also joined, and they now celebrate over 50 years singing with the choir.

Pam and Christine were mentioned in the Evening Echo in May 2012 as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, together with details of the choir’s special Jubilee concert.

Congratulations to them all on a great achievement and we wish them all many more happy years of singing.
