The Kingsmen support Mayflower 400 Celebrations

The Kingsmen (25 in number) were invited to sing at the opening event at Paddington Station for the Mayflower 400 celebrations sponsored by Plymouth City Council in support of the Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership.

The year long programme involving Britain, Holland and the USA is for the 400th Anniversary of the Pilgrim Fathers setting sail from Plymouth Barbican in 1620 on board the Mayflower.

It proved to be a fantastic day with the guys arriving at Paddington and taking time for a photo shoot with Paddington Bear on Platform 1.

They sang three spots on the hour until their return to Totnes at the end of the day.

The guys sang brilliantly under the direction of MD Roy Hann having to contend with tannoy announcements, train noise and the general hubbub of Paddington Station!

The Mayflower Project group based in Ballard House, Plymouth were most appreciative and couldn’t give the Kingsmen enough praise for their performance and effort to make it a hugely successful event.

Marathon Support to the Chairmans Charity

By Andrew Large • January 20, 2026

So, in the words of Jim Stewart, why would a 67 year old who hasn't even completed a "couch to 5k" run in a Marathon, let alone the Madrid event, one of the hilliest on the circuit? Jim has chosen to take up this challenge to run and raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK, this is the Kingsmen Chairmans Charity this year and so we are all throwing all of our support behind Jim. Here's why Jim chosen to run and raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK "I recently sat in my GP’s office after a PSA test. My results were ‘normal,’ yet I was told not to take 'comfort' in that. The PSA is only an indication, not a diagnosis, and it left me with a chilling realization: 'normal' doesn’t always mean 'safe.'" Prostrate Cancer UK's mission is: Prostate Cancer UK has a simple ambition - to stop men dying from prostate cancer. Through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and support, we will stop prostate cancer being a killer. Jim has set up a justgiving page which can be found at: https://www.justgiving.com/page/kingsmen-jim Jim also has his own Marathon Blog: https://marathonfundraiserforprostatecancer.blogspot.com/p/home.html Please visit these pages and if you can support Jim in this wild endeavour then please do so.
