Sep 18, York First Parish Congregational Church Men's Choir The Bow Tie Guys
Location: Women's City Club, 375 Middle Street, Portsmouth
Presented by Mr. & Mrs. Cyrus B. Sweet III

The Men's Choir, affectionately known as "The Bow Tie Guys" began life as a quartet. Gradually, more voices were added, bringing the total to nine talented singers. Each is a member of the First Parish Sanctuary Choir, and the group performs regularly during worship. The Bow Tie Guys have appeared at several events in the Maine/NH Seacoast area, including concerts at Dover First Parish Church and The Music Hall, the September 11th memorial service on York Beach and ARS Candlelight Services in Portsmouth.

The Bow Tie Guys wish to thank the countless number of people who have supported the ensemble fromits inception:the members, friends and pastors of First Parish Church, and the spouses of the gentlemen (who allow them to do what they love doing!).

The Bow Tie Guys are:
Conductor/tenor/countertenor, Wendell Purrington
Tenors, Larry Favinger, Bill Purinton and Jan Hansen
Baritones, Tim O'Connell and Todd Richard
Basses, John Shultis, Richard Leigh, and Sterling Brightman
