A nice review... & more work!

Had a nice e-mail with a very nice review of our Christmas concert.  It's going in the Woldingham magazine February edition (January's already out!) and I've sent a copy to Ian D to put in the New Year Consortium.
I reproduce the review here as it's so heart-warming to be appreciated;

Berry Butler recalls a magical evening

I was so glad to be in the audience in St Paul’s Church, Woldingham on Saturday 15 December for a Christmas Family Carol Concert performed by the excellent North Downs Consort, with enjoyable readings from Sue and Roger Simpson of the Woldingham Players and perfect organ solos from Ian le Grice.  The rich selection of Christmas material included pieces by Rutter, Poulenc, Handel, Howells, Willcocks and Vaughan Williams – with some traditional carols for us all to sing together.  The Concert was conducted with flair by Paul Provost – only the fourth Music Director of the Consort in over 30 years – and under his highly competent and enthusiastic direction we had a thoroughly enjoyable and inspiring evening.              BHB

With thanks and kind acknowledgements to Berry Butler.  I've also been hard at work preparing rehearsal CDs for members so that they are ready for the first rehearsal on 7 Jan.  Still they're all done now.
