Our Fundraiser Concert on 28 October was a great success. The nave of the cathedral was filled to hear the Exmoor Singers of London under their conductor James Jarvis give a memorable concert of spiritual classics, old and new.

We're not sure how much money was raised in total as pledges and so on have still to be calculated, but we covered our costs and made a significant contribution to Veilaudio's most pressing equipment needs. Sadly, we are still awaiting video clips of the evening, but here is an atmospheric view of the Exmoor Singers, glimpsed over the heads of the listeners, and an amateur recording of Allegri's Miserere, recorded live (and not from the best position). Please respect the choir's copyright and do not download but simply enjoy here on our web site. You can learn more about the Exmoor Singers themselves here.

Our best thanks to Oblate Alexander, who worked tirelessly to bring the concert about; to all our Friends who worked in the background as ticket managers, wine pourers, washers up and so on and so forth; to Canon Cronin and his cathedral staff, who generously made the cathedral available to us; to Archbishop Peter Smith who was very gracious and encouraging; to Lord Nicholas Windsor, patron of the Veilaudio Appeal, who would have been with us but was prevented from flying in by French air traffic problems; and to all who gave up an evening to come and listen.
