On Saturday evening Stuart and I were guests at the Christmas Concert organised by Macmillan Cancer Support and The Newbury and District Cancer Care Trust. this is now an annual event at St Nicolas' Church on the first Saturday in December. Last year the charities raised £16,000 from their concert and will hopefully have exceeded that amount this year.
We were entertained by the excellent choirs of Cirencester Parish Church, and a number of local musicians, including the Nicholls family and Michael Greenhalgh, the latter being a young clarinetist who was a runner-up in this year's Newbury Young Musician of the Year competition.
There were also some distinguished guests chosen for the readings, including Max Hastings and Chris Tarrant. I've been a fan of the latter since Tiswas days, so was glad he agreed to this photo being taken at the reception afterwards.
