Jonathan conducting the Parish Singers
The 2019 Autumn Concert on 20th October had a slight change of format this year. It was shorter and the refreshments were placed at the end of an hour long concert by the Parish Singers, SMSG school choir, SMSG Church band and SMSG Church handbell ringers, rather than have an interval. This worked very well.
Parish Singers
Jonathan Kingston conducted all the Parish Singers and school pieces while Lesley Salter conducted the band and handbells. The nautical theme to the school choir music was one of the highlights, especially as one song involved audience participation!
