A very warm welcome from the Reverend Robert Sanday from St Edward’s Church, Netley, was received by audience and choir alike.

Netley chapel is an outstandingly beautiful building and dressed with lights and a huge Christmas tree; the tone of Christmas was truly set. Traditional carols by candlelight, interesting and lyrical pieces by the New Music Makers conducted by David Farnell, and choral works by the Hampshire County Youth Chamber Choir all added to the festive spirit of this wonderful place. We have been invited to sing here again for Christmas 2016 and look forward to it very much- especially as the evening ended with mince pies and sherry!
