There was even a world-première...
We gave the first ever performance of our a cappella arrangement of Quia Respexit Humilitatem from the Bach Magnificat; clearly Sarah-Ann had done this before & sung it beautifully, but our vocal noodling behind her had never previously been heard in public!
Scunthorpe Concert Society had been very brave and invited us back after only an interval of 15 years...
...and we sang in an excellent Performing Arts School, with great rehearsal facilities etc and a very good hall in which to sing.
We took the audience on the journey from Madrigal to McCartney, from Henry VIII (his Pastime with Good Companye) to Richard Rodney Bennett (his glorious A Good-Night from A Garland for Linda).
A delightful evening, with audience not only of people of a certain age; it was very good to see some young faces in the crowd too... But all of them, whatever age, were terrific and enthusiastic.
They also loved Chris's and our singing of California Dreamin' and When You say Nothing At All...
We hope Scunthorpe Concert Society goes from strength to strength...
The evening was only blighted by the disastrous news that started appearing at the end of the night of the appalling debacles in our beloved Paris... horrendous; what barbarity.
We are back in Lincolnshire on Wednesday the 2nd of December at Grantham....details here.
I wandered past the North Lincolnshire Museum on the way home... and found this old lady...
...and perhaps one of her mosaics!
Out to Germany at the end of this week.... Heilbronn & Montabaur;- all info on site...
Wunderbar!
