Looking forward to sharing my songs once again with the congregation of the lovely Northwood United church in Surrey on Sunday Nov 24.  I will be joined by Anna Lumiere on piano and Finn Manniche on cello.  This Vespers runs every Sunday from 4-5pm and is followed by a little reception with refreshments and goodies.

I don’t currently have a photo of Anna, Finn and I. So blessed to be surrounded by such fine musicians. Simon is sorry to miss our performance. It is a treat to work with the very talented Anna Lumiere once again. Sure to be a lovely Vespers for us all.
