On Saturday, November 26th. we were once again regaled with a number of musical items, which in large measure had the sea as its main theme.

Basingstoke Choral Society had chosen an ambitious programme which further supported their already undoubted reputation as a collection of voices that are prepared to tackle anything. Under the baton of David Gibson, they achieved an outstanding result, which deserved a much larger audience. The choir is to be highly commended for providing us with a wonderful experience. The evening was a real ‘tour de force’, being arrived at, no doubt, at the expense of a few sore throats in rehearsal.
