For more than 30 years the Lifeboat Mixed Voice Choir of Forest Row, Sussex, has sung carols at Christmas time for the RNLI and, in that time, has raised more than £5,000. What started as a small band of singers has grown into an experienced choir and its record of 18 carols is full of warmth and enthusiasm. Last Christmas Coxswain Joe Martin (seen on the sleeve, right) and Motor Mechanic Joe Shoesmith of Hastings joined the choir for an evening's carol singing.
