Many people contributed to the success of the evening, none more so than Christine and Ivan Revell-Burrows who rigged up a portable generator for lighting and electronic music equipment.
With the sale of a picture painted by local artist and choir member Lynn Rutherford, admission and a raffle, nearly £1,000 was raised to be split between the two churches.
