Christ College Heroes
31 March 2009
Creative students from Cheltenham’s Christ College staged a jazz café to raise money for the Help for Heroes appeal.
The evening was co-hosted by Emily Comerford and Francis Moloney. Francis was introduced as “the 44th president of the United States” and performed an amusing skit based on President Obama's oratorical style.
Rock musicians from the school kicked off with a barnstorming version of Jimi Hendrix’s Hey Joe, and there followed a variety of acts, including singers, musicians, a ventriloquist and even two students who have mastered circus skills as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award.
A staff band performed, fronted by the Blues Brothers, better known to the students as Head of IT and Head of English respectively, Colin Revell and Stewart Clarkson.
Students Sam Caswell Midwinter and Francis Moloney organised the event as part of their bronze arts award, and it was Francis, an Army Cadet with an Army career in his sights, who suggested that the Help for Heroes would be a good cause to support.
Head of Music at Christ College Naomi Austin said: “It was a lovely evening, and it is a pleasure to work with so many talented young people.”
The evening raised in the region of £250.00 for Help for Heroes, who support those wounded in current military conflicts.
