The original workplace choir!

With the promise of some better weather to come, the choir presented a concert at St. Bartholomew's Church in Failand on Saturday 14th April. The appearance of some sunshine at last was good because it allowed the west window in the church to be lit to show how beautiful it is.

The concert was a happy occasion with a wide collection of songs sung with feeling to an appreciative audience. The evening was compered by Mike Evans who did a very good job of it, presenting a guide through the concert sprinkled with some facts about the songs and a bit of humour.

The solos were given by the choir's friend, Julie Payne. She played a number of melancholic and faultless oboe solos and finished with a piano duo with Alison Howell. Together they played a very clever and entertaining piece called "The Lone Arranger" which hides snippets of around 36 tunes in between the basic theme of "The Lone Ranger".

Our MD, Marysia Gorska Saj, also works with the Fairford and District Choral Society. Two of their singers, Jean and Doug Crowley, travelled to our concert tonight and declared their enjoyment of our music.

The organisers had provided some delicious cake which made the whole evening fantastic!
