This tour to Hertfordshire was scheduled to take place in June 2020, during our centenary year and we were all glad it could finally take place this year. It was a 3 day tour, with concerts at All Saints at Kings Langley and Christ Church at Ware to support the churches and local communities.
Our first concert venue.
This was Max Brockman-More's last tour with the choir before his retirement as Music Director.
All Saints was a small venue but full of history and tradition.
Kings Langley Community Choir provided more singing with a variety of songs from their repertoire.
Whenever SMVC are on tour, the 'Song of the Jolly Roger' is never far away.
The following day we travelled to St Albans in the sunshine. After a visit to the impressive Catherdral, open market stalls and a local restuarant or hostelry for lunch we made our way back to the coach.
In the evening we performed at Christ Church, Ware. SMVC was the first choir to sing at the church since it's refurbishment in 2020. We were also supported by some superb musicians and our own soloist.
Solo flautist, Naomi Thompson entertains the audience.
Oboe soloist, Alice Wong added something special to the concert.
Now for some audience participation and choir choreography. 'Sweet Caroline', - it made us feel so good!
On the evening, several choiristers were presented with 10 year, Long Service Awards. From right to left - John Hooper, Chris Done, Richard Hopkins and Paul Jones.
SMVC soloist, Rachel Smith also sang some solo items and a joint item with the choir to complete a very enjoyable evening for all.
