Our thanks to Megan, Adrian and all the team for inviting us to play for you last night. Adrian and Andy (Main Street) were excellent and I have never seen such an incredible spread of home made cakes! The meeting house is such a beautiful space and with the use of Adrian’s rather bigger PA (Thank you Adrian) we were quite loud and clear – one small boy on the front row sat there with his hands over his ears for our entire performance (we must suggest that people try that!) but no one else said we were too loud – and I especially enjoyed the children dressed as Angels (I think!) who were dancing at the front. Well done to the whole team – 77 people came (even though we were competing with Strictly Come Dancing on the TV) everyone sang really well and the event raised more than £400.

Thank you for a fun evening!

Donald and Richard joined by Omar playing harmonica and saxophone played at a fund-raising event in Birmingham on Saturday 4 November. The appeal raised £550 in donations to Christian Aid to support emergency aid for victims of conflict in Palestine and Israel.

Our thanks to event organiser Richard Becher and the team at Elmwood URC for a warm welcome and excellent samosas served during the interval!
