We are sad to report that Horsham MelodyTimes Concerts has just had their last concert, bringing to an end over 45 years of 'our kind of music' in the town. Sadly, post-pandemic, numbers attending never recovered sufficiently to a level which was viable, so despite best efforts to encourage attendance and under-writing the losses for quite a time, it has become impossible to continue.
It is hoped that former attendees will find their way to enjoy the warm welcome at either Crawley Keyboard Club or Bognor Regis MelodyTimes.
Leamington Spa June Concert CancelledUnfortunately, the Leamington and District Organ Society concert for June 2026 with Lewis Scott has been cancelled due to extenuating circumstances. Their programme resumes after the summer break with the wonderful Claire Greig in concert on 8th September.
