Musical Society plan concert in memory of President

Last Summer, Banbridge Musical Society were saddened by the death of their much loved President, Colin Porter.

Colin was a member of the society for over 40 years. He acted as President, Vice President, Chairman and almost every position within Committee for most of those years.

He was a wonderful actor and singer but his forte was in supporting his fellow colleagues with words of encouragement. He is responsible for many of our members following Musical Theatre as a career and for encouraging the best from all involved within the society with his kind praise. He will be much missed by all of his friends.
