Thanks Drew - what a superb programme. Unfortunately, I have another appointment for tonight so could not attend despite working only half a mile away.

Popped into the Church on my way home out of curiosity and lo behold, Raven were rehearsing under the direction of Simon Lole. Would love to have stayed on for the concert.
