The proceeds from have gone to St Michael's and All Angels Church re-ordering fund Comment:
Hi all What an absolutely great night it was. You all excelled yourselves. One of the best occasions I have heard regarding your quality of singing. It sounded so relaxed, easy and natural for you. It was one of the very rare occasions when I almost forgot I was performing in a ‘concert’ and felt like I was just having a wonderful time celebrating music with my friends. (I think it’s called ‘flow’). Also, the Brass was so inspiring and enjoyable. I think they inspired us all to do well and it was a great feeling of just doing our bit together! I looked up at the choir and just felt wow so lucky to be part of this! Thanks to all. Well done, Dave. All your work over these years is paying off. Some great moments in which I heard the best singing from the choir ever! Teresa. xx |
