Unity Gospel Choir Rocks Hollyfort


The Unity Gospel Choir rocked Hollyfort Village Church on 3 October '14 and, despite the torrential rain, supporters came out in force. The church, which holds about 130 people, was packed with everyone enjoying the lively music and clapping along. After the concert, refreshments were served in the old school. 
A big thank you to Nevil Cox and his Unity Gospel choir for a brilliant and entertaining performance. Hope they will come back again next year.
