The two choirs and Enigma gave faultless performances to a full church. The evening raised £1207 for church funds.
Monsignor Faley commented:
The two choirs performed in harmony with each other and there were no soloist just everyone singing for each other. Your performance was not just clever but also wise. Wise because it had depth, emotion and you communicated with each other and your audience. Singing without accompaniment is the most difficult type of singing and tonight both of the choirs were magnificent.
