The final English Magic exhibition opened on the 11th October at the Turner Contemporary on the seafront in Margate. Of course the Melodians were invited to open the exhibition with a concert. There was a packed gallery for the concert and the Melodians played at 2pm and 4pm. The added attraction in Margate is that the Turner has a resident 80 strong choir called ‘The Big Sing’. The Melodians were invited to do 3 pieces accompanied by the choir as part of a project called Soundslikeart. They went down there the week before for a full rehearsal with the choir. The 3 joint songs were received to tumultuous applause.<\/p>\n

As you can see the gallery was packed with fans who wanted to hear the Melodians and also the choir.<\/p>\n

The Melodians played all the music from the English Magic film plus a number of their other favourites including Bohemian Rhapsody.<\/p>\n
