Sorry about the flurry of posts today. This one covers all you need to know for the big day. In addition to being ready to sing on Saturday, we need to meet our Spanish guests and to know when to be where, as the second half involves us getting on and off stage. Nothing tricky, but we do need time…… Read more →

     Dear All I hope you’ve had a lovely half term break enjoying the glorious sunshine.

We’ll be on the raised altar area tonight so will need to set up chairs as we used to do. If anyone can get…… Read more →

Dear all If you can snatch an hour or two away from your feverish study of the Creation on either or both of the next two Sunday evenings, there are a couple of concerts in Putney that I would commend to your attention – not least because I have a starring role in both… This coming Sunday, June 11th, I’m…… Read more →
