“The church was very hot (bit unusual for churches ) but Fans were provided. The quartet were fabulous. One member told the story of the countries the music was being played from. Classical to pop it was brilliant. The only problem was the church pews you were sat on seemed at the back of church to groan and creak an awful lot which made an unwelcome distraction. But the music the Quartet played was absolutely great.”
