When we got there ten minutes before the show the stewards were putting out additional seats round the walls.
The mini opera, Amahl and the night visitors, lasted forty minutes. The event was free, thanks to sponsors, but there was still a lot of money piled on the retiring collection plates. It had been a full house at St Helen’s church. The show was very well performed.
Wow that takes me back – I sang in this at Chester Cathedral 20-odd years ago when I was at school!
