The festive season got off to a start with our Christmas concert in the heart of the City of London. Anthems old and new, readings for the season, and carols for all to sing put our audience in a celebratory spirit in the intimate, candlelit Georgian surroundings of St Botolph’s Church, a stone’s throw from Liverpool Street Station.  The audience joined us afterwards for a glass of mulled wine and mince pie
