When Bloomsbury Theatre was refurbished @evangeloshimonides saved some of the wood of its original stage floor from the skip,
He recycled it and gave it new purpose: by transforming it into a beautiful musical instrument.
This unique guitar was made for Shout at Cancer for two reasons:
1) Evangelos was inspired by how our choir members, despite having lost their larynx, are able to create a new voice and deliver moving performances. Most of them never sang before the operation, yet against all expectations they have added this extra dimension to their voice.
2) The wood on which so many famous artists had been performing for countless years, will make its return to the Bloomsbury Theatre. This time to be played and take part in the actual concert by our very own laryngectomy choir!
Save the date: 26 October, Bloomsbury Theatre, Outspoken Jazz, with the phenomenal zaramcfarlane, and the extraordinary @peteredwards Trio
