Brede

A Grand Concert in St George’s Church Brede Was thoroughly enjoyed by the full Church audience. Grace with her beautiful soprano voice and Gary with his Tenor voice and Duncan the accomplished pianist complemented each other. Their repartee was very varied, during the evening the audience also had a chance to sing in a round and certainly when they were challenged to sing their hearts out for ‘When you walk through a storm’, they certainly did with thoughts of the people in Manchester. The wonderful concert was followed with a magnificent buffet provided by the Friends of St George’s, £600 was made for their fund, Well done all of you! Everyone is looking forward to the next concert.
