The Regency Singers, a Hastings based choir of mainly senior citizens,are giving a public concert at St Luke’s Church and Hall on Saturday 29th March of Popular Music and Songs from the Shows at 2.30p.m.

Entrance is free but there will be a retiring collection in aid of choir funds and the church. Refreshments will be served in the hall after the concert.

All Welcome.

It may seem strange for a web-site to move into print but that is what is happening to us!

On 26 April, we will publish our first book as a publishing house – Larkpress.

Over the next three years we will publish the complete Organs of 1066 Country and the first volume, Hastings, will include 29 extant organs with full specifications and colour photographs as well as a detailed biography of our local organ builder Samuel F Dalladay.

Future volumes will focus on the organs of Battle & Bexhill and then the wider diaspora and country villages, as well as an overview of the many organs we have lost.

The publishing price for Volume 1 is £7.50. It can be ordered in advance through this site or purchased on launch day – Saturday 26 April – as part of celebrations across Hastings. Further details of launch day will appear later in March.

The Melodians are holding three concerts this year, all with a small entrance fee to cover costs and a collection at the door for St.Michaels Hospice, their nominated charity.

Performances will, as usual, include music for choir organ and piano. The first concert is at

St.Peter and St.Paul Church in Parkstone Road on the 10th May at 7.00pm

then at St.Clements Church, Old Town on 14th June, at 7.00pm

and lastly at The Church in the Wood, Hollington, on 19th June at 7.00pm.

We look forward to seeing you there.
