Woodrush Voices performed songs from Les Miserables, as well as joining other groups for a song from Joseph and the grand finale, ‘Ain’t no Mountain High Enough’. Our group performed their socks off !!! They really did Woodrush proud and loads of the audience commented on their stunning singing and professionalism on stage. A great evening was had by all.
