A most beautiful 45 minutes of joy..some voices in the choirs were exceptional. Christopher ‘s narration could have done with the background music lesser volume..his words would have been even more profound.

Such a lovely evening. Our only criticism was the narrator wasn’t very clear, more the sound rather than the voice of Chris Eccleston. Gospel Choir were fabulous
