Concert Review

Home » News » Concert Review

The highly personable and musically talented Oliver and Samuel Hancock delighted a very appreciative audience in the church with 'An Evening of Flanders and Swann' on Saturday 8th February. Flanders and Swann's songs are characterised by wit, gentle satire, complex rhyming schemes, linguistic play and memorable choruses.

The evening was well summed up by two concert-goers writing to Derrick Matthews, the church Music Director and event organiser, when they said, "Thanks very much for a really delightful evening at the Methodist Church. It was like a breath of fresh air to hear good well thought out humour which is so typical of Flanders & Swann... we enjoyed the performance of Oliver & Samuel... It was a joy and a memorable evening."

On top of all that, the event raised £890 for the church welcome project. So, thank you Oliver and Samuel and thank you Derrick (and Janice).

David leads us towards Advent with Luke's account of the birth of Christ and its meaning — Luke 2:8-11.8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news...
