Gala concert 2009

Finally! Some new music clips

I've put a new selection of snippets from 2009 at the bottom of most pages. They are 'live' recordings (complete with coughs) and are not high quality like the CD recordings but I hope they capture the atmosphere of the pieces and the enthusiasm of the orchestras.

200 Club

The Friends run a 200 club where you pay £12 per year (or £30 per year for 3 times the chance of winning) - prizes are drawn monthly - click here for an application form.
