Praise in Print

A recent letter to the Sunderland Echo from J.King made the following comments about our summer concert:

“Many years ago, in a film called The Glenn Miller Story the band leader found the ’sound’ he was searching for when the band played Moonlight Serenade. On Saturday 9th June, I believe David Murray and the Bishopwearmouth Choral Society attained something of what Glenn Miller did. They were absolutely superb. Along with the orchestra and guest singers, the choir certainly made it a night to remember. Having attended the BCS concerts for the past 15 years, enjoying every one of them, I think they surpassed anything they had done before. Long may the choir continue to give such pleasure to the many followers who attend their concerts.”
