This year has been, as usual, a busy one for the Choir. We have put on two "sell out" concerts, and between them have raised £890 for various charities. The Choir led the worship at 28 Sundays and learnt 7 new anthems.
The usual people have been of invaluable help to me over the past year and, indeed, the four prior to that. To them, I am most grateful.
I wish Ewen Ritchie the best of luck as he takes over as Organist and Director of Music of this wonderful church, and I hope he enjoys leading the Choir as much as I have.
It has been a privilege and an honour to hold the post of Organist at Holburn West.
With profound thanks and best wishes,
Dominic Scullion
