What’s On:
Jubilee Come & Sing
Saturday was a glorious day in Windsor, with the sunshine matched by the enthusiastic singing of those who came to this Come and Sing event. Brian was on top form and led the day with musical insight and wonderful anecdotes. A bonus on the day was the opportunity to view some memorabilia from one of the coronation choristers!
Thank you to all those who joined us.
“A very special day. Thanks to all especially Brian Kay. Melded us all into pretty good musical shape!”
“A Wonderful day.”
“I was there, and I Was Glad”

'Brian is so inspiring.
He has a way of improving everyone’s confidence by simply pulling a group of singers, who have never sung together, with fantastic results – a truly united choir!'
