Two years and counting

Today is the second anniversary of our moving to our house – one of the best decisions we ever made. After seeing the house we made the decision very quickly to make our offer, but I don’t think I envisaged how it would become our home so quickly.

So, in celebration of this Paper Anniversary, I write a blog post…

Charity concert for FiSH

On Sunday 4 December I’ll be conducting Barnes Concert Band in a celebratory concert in support of local charity FiSH, a neighbourhood voluntary care scheme in Barnes.

The concert is called ‘The Last Christmas before the Olympics!’ – the programme will be a joyful mixture of sporting hits and Christmas favourites. So, if you’ve ever wanted to hear Chariots of Fire in the same programme as Sleigh Ride, this is the concert for you!

The concert is at Wathen Hall in St. Paul’s School, and starts at 2.30pm.
