Dear All
We’ve had an update from Neavan. He won’t be able to be with us on Sunday; sadly his mum is seriously ill so naturally he wants to stay by her side. He asked us to pass on this message to everyone:
Dear Sheen Gate Choir,
I am very sorry I will not be present for our concert on Sunday – it is a great personal sadness to have taken you all so far and not to be with you and the culmination of all your hard work. I hope you will understand however that my place right now has to be at home with my family. It was wonderful to get a taste of you all in ‘performance mode’ at the Holly Lodge concert last week, and I have every confidence you will deliver (with a smile!!) again on Sunday. I look forward to being back with you all next month with an exciting new programme.
Until then, I’ll leave you with a few words which feel like they carry more weight this week.
“and I Look up to outer vastness unafraid And see the stars which sang when earth was made.”
Let’s all do him proud on Sunday.
Alex Turner has kindly agreed to step in and lead us for the rehearsal and concert.
It would be nice if we could video the concert for Neavan. I understand this may be possible if it is recorded as a Zoom call. If anyone has a Zoom account and could arrange for one of their guests to do that on their phone or a tablet could you let me know?
