The Choir, directed by Jeremy Backhouse and accompanied by Organist Malcolm Hicks, who had kindly stepped in at the last moment, entertained a large and appreciative audience with a wide variety of choral music, commencing with Handel’s Zadok the Priest and sending everyone home at the end of the evening humming songs from ‘The Sound of Music’.

While the Choir caught their breath in the interval, the audience enjoyed refreshments, a raffle and time to relax and chat with friends old and new.

Everyone from the children to the most senior citizen in the audience greatly enjoyed an exceptionally entertaining and happy evening. We plan to hold more community events at St Michael’s Church.
