From ‘The Libretto’ – July 2011
We do not know how lucky we are having the musical team that we have. While John & Siân were away on a well deserved holiday, Shirley Anne and Steve were left to hold the fort. With a wedding, a concert, a funeral and all the twice weekly practices, they did this without a moan or a hitch. We are so lucky to be able to carry on as normal when we have members of the musical team away (not many choirs can). Shirley Anne is only employed part-time and only has to do one practice a week, but her dedication and the drive for this choir to keep up it’s commitments, she juggled her work and home life so that she did not let us down. Steve also puts the choir first and we know he has a very full life outside the choir, plus arranging his daughter’s wedding, he still found the time to attend everything arranged. I for one salute Shirley Anne & Steve for all they do for the choir and I know that without them (and Siân & John) we would not be here. So lets show them how much they mean to us by attending as many practices as we can and also try and attend every concert we can. We should never go away with less than 65+ on stage.
