Yesterday evening members of St Peter’s Choir gave an evening of choral music. The first half showcased some of the music sung during Choral Evensong including Stanford in C, From The Rising Of The Sun by Ouseley and a very touching rendition of Holy Holy Holy by Schubert. The second half was lighter opening with a comedy version of All Things Bright And Beautiful, solos from the junior choristers and The Lord Is My Shepherd (well known from the TV series The Vicar of Dibley). Our very own Tony Gatward also gave two excellent solos during the evening accompanied by Christine Taylor.

Just to reiterate the words said at the end of last evening’s summer choir concert. A huge thank you to all involved including organist Beverley Manning, the Mother’s Union who provided the refreshments and of course the members of the choir who sang so beautifully.

The evening really did match up to the weather outside and thank you once again to the choir who show not remarkable dedication, but also in the words of our rector Nigel Lloyd “they [the choir] appear as a group of people who really enjoy making music”.

Thank you!
Richard McLester
