Our Summer entertainment was the very successful concert in St Gabriel’s Church, Heaton in June. The café style was new to everyone, but the relaxed vibe was greeted with enthusiasm from the audience, who described the music and atmosphere as “great”, “brilliant” and “magical”. Another concert-goer said that it was an “exciting evening” and that they “loved every minute!”.

Drew’s direction was as energetic as ever, introducing a great variety of pieces to a very full church. Thanks also to Eleanor, for skilfully introducing a completely new piece to everyone, which was one of the highlights of the event.

Term starts again for us this Wednesday; the first rehearsal after the Summer break is always full of excited anticipation for the new music, and of course it is lovely to sing with friends again.

We are welcoming several new members, and starting to rehearse for “A Christmas Tapestry”- an interesting programme of seasonal music and readings, at St George’s Church in Jesmond on Saturday 6th December.
