MUSIC
We first met in 1990 at a television recording
of a Harvest Festival Evensong at Puddletown, Dorset, which the BBC were
producing as part of Songs of Praise, with the help of the West
Gallery Music Association. Music therefore is an important part of our
lives.
The following are just some of our
joint interests:
|
 |
West Gallery Music Association -
The Association was formed in 1990 by Gordon Ashman
and Dave Townsend ....
|
|
Immanuel's Ground-
The West Gallery quire which we started in Warwick
on 10th October 2001, following an Evensong at to celebrate 250 years
of Methodism....
|
|
Sussex Harmony - Another West Gallery
quire, based in Lewes, Sussex, started by Edwin, together with Milly
Murphy, in January 1992 to research, reconstruct and perform
the music of rural church and chapel between 1700 and 1840. Whilst
initially the quire sang for its own enjoyment, with a growing
repertoire its public performances have increased in number and now
include carol and other concerts, church services and workshops.
It now continues under the leadership of
Rachel Jordan.

|
Shapenote Music -
|
|
Oxford Occasionals - As their name
implies, this group of singers meets occasionally, usually on the 'teenth'
Thursday in every month, and more often than not to sing Shapenote
music in our sitting room, which holds about 30 if everyone breaths in
simultaneously.

GENEALOGY
Research into our family histories has become an
absorbing, if not time consuming spare time activity
