When I drove into the Bargates Hall car park I noticed how vivid the flowering cherry blossom was; throughout our rehearsal I noticed a blackbird perched in one of the trees, his black feathers standing out against the pinkness even as dusk fell. I wonder what he thought of our rehearsal – Singing in the Rain, All You Need is Love, Bring me Sunshine and Summer Holiday. We’re preparing for a choir garden party with family and friends as guests at the end of July.
Here’s another of Tony Tinsley’s photographs, this time of our very own ‘Three Tenors’ in rehearsal
and a lovely one of Iris, with Holly, our soloist for the Whitchurch Faure performance.
