We have a very musical week ahead of us in Murray Bridge.

Music Ministry will be joined by the Murray Bridge Children’s Choir this Friday night; while on Sunday afternoon, Choir Cecilia will perform with their musical director, Peter Webb OAM, who is retiring after 25 years with the choir.

On Thursday, radio industry veteran of 55-plus years, David Sabine, will host Live on Air – Songs of State and Screen.

Bargain hunters and bookworms can also rejoice; the Friends of the Murray Bridge Library will host a book sale this Friday in the library.

Listening to some amazing live music, and stocking up on some great reads for cheap?

Sound like perfect winter pastimes to me.
