Chris Beezley sings in both the Bath Male Choir and THE Bath Chorus, he explains the background to the concert;
"The ladies in the chorus and the guys who are not running wanted to do their bit to support the team. Singing at a concert seemed the most obvious way and with the wonderful help of Alan's company this should add at least £2,000 to the overall total."
Tickets are now on sale from Jody on 01761 472468 priced £8 but are expected to sell out very quickly. The runners will be joined by the other 45 singing members at the start line to sing to the 15,000 other competitors as they line up in Bath's Pulteney Street on the Sunday morning of race day on March 7th.
The Choir has set up a dedicated Bank account and whatever they raise will be divided equally between the National Prostate Cancer Charity and the Golden-Oldies Charitable Trust.
