On Sunday 14th May we had a A Spring Evening concert with Harry Jacques (tenor) and Alan Thomas (guitar) at St Peter’s Barrowden. Harry and Alan performed a variety of songs, including works by Dowland, Handel, folk song arrangements by Britten, and a number of songs by Simon and Garfunkel. It was wonderful to hear musicians of Harry and Alan’s quality performing, they had clearly put a great deal of consideration and preparation into the music. Their helpful explanations of each song, and their friendly banter, created a friendly and informal atmosphere. Each song created a world of imagination and feeling that filled minds and hearts in the church.
The concert was very well attended, and a general hope was expressed that Harry and Alan would return to delight us once more in the not too distant future.
