Those taking part included The Wollaton Singers ably conducted by Sophie Pascall and accompanied by Chris Foster. Songs included music by Elgar, songs from the shows, music by Gershwin and as a final item they were joined by St. Mary’s Junior Choir in a beautiful rendering of The 23rd^t Psalm.

St. Mary’s Hand Bell Ringers provided musical interludes with a range of pieces and children from the Junior Choir provided solo items on violin, piano, flute and even a banjo – they were fantastic!

Further solo items were provided by Malcolm Bachelor on the organ and Graeme and Jill Barker on piano and violin.
