Bury St Edmunds concert Young at Heart to showcase young Suffolk musicians while also supporting charities

A fundraising concert at St Edmundsbury Cathedral will showcase the talent of young Suffolk musicians.

The Young at Heart Concert on Saturday, March 11, in Bury St Edmunds has been organised by Suffolk County Council chairman Cllr Robert Everitt and will support his two chosen charities: Bury St Edmunds Deaf and Hard of Hearing Association and Gatehouse's dementia services.

Cllr Everitt enlisted the help of musician Harry Greene, who is not only performing at the concert, but helped to pull together the line-up of talented young musicians.

The concert line-up is:

• Oscar Lyons Trio - Oscar is well on his way to becoming one of the finest jazz musicians Suffolk has ever produced;

• Aldeburgh Young Musicians;

• The St Edmundsbury Cathedral Youth Choir;

• Christina Johnston – one of the world’s most in-demand Sopranos;

• Harry Greene - one of the most in-demand guitarists and saxophonists on the London scene and beyond, accompanied by the Chris Ingham Trio;

• Ashton Jones – one of the UK’s most talented funk, soul vocalists and songwriters.

Suffolk entertainer Charlie Haylock will be the MC for the evening.

Cllr Everitt said he had known Harry, whom he described as an 'amazing' saxophonist and guitarist, for many years after first hearing him play in Bury St Edmunds town centre when he was about 13.
