Always good to see audience space filling up for a concert we're about to do. And what a concert it was! @PaulSpicer6 had put together a very imaginative programme, with readings from Archbishop Bernard Longley. When official reviews appear on website a link will appear here.

Excellent performance last night. The music and the readings touched hearts and gave cause to reflect. Congratulations to the Bach Choir, Paul Spicer the conductor and Martyn Rawles the organist. Big thank you to Most Rev Bernard Longley and St Chad’s Cathedral

HMS Dragon has been equipped with ammunition and vital supplies, ensuring full operational readiness. The mission will strengthen capability in the Eastern Mediterranean, ensuring our people are protected and that British interests are defended.

Sad to hear of the death of Neil Sedaka. When I was five years old I drew piano keys onto a cardboard box with crayons & pretended to sing and play like Neil Sedaka. Loved his music. Here’s my musical tribute to a music legend.

The visit highlighted the professionalism of all those working across Northwood’s commands and recognised their unwavering service in support of the country.🇬🇧
