Concert at St Mary and St Philip Neri, Radcliffe, 13 May 2018
Another afternoon of singing and cake.
We gather in the car park. It's almost too nice to go
inside.
"I did ask Father if we could roll the roof open but it
was no go," says Jeff.
There are the usual questions: will we get an audience, will
there be enough cake, will we sing all right?
This is such a lovely building to sing in. It's beautiful even
when you're standing at the front looking towards where the congregation sits. Hopefully
we look fine as well. We're wearing the roses again.
During the warm-up we try out The Blessing. "Just because the acoustics are so good," says
Jeff. "We won't sing it
later."
It does sound good in that space. It'll be nice when that's firmly
in our repertoire.
Well, there is plenty of cake. In fact a few people are able
to take a little selection home yet we don't to take back a huge pile that is
left over. So just right in fact. The church is almost full of appreciative
people. We must be singing all right because
our audience clap a lot.
Oh yes, and we sing Sway,
Everything I Do and Deep River of
course. As well as many more.
There is a raffle with many lovely prizes as well.
What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
