Cantabile - The London Quartet in Concert

For the second year running there is a music festival based at St. Mary's Church in Barnes - the same church as I hear that brilliant young singer, Mary Jess.

The introduction was by Gyles Brandreth, with wildly entertaining reminiscences, and the concert itself featured The London Quartet  - four gentlemen -  Richard Bryan(counter-tenor) , Steven Brooks (tenor), Mark Fleming (tenor) and Michael Steffan (baritone ), not forgetting the pianist Christ Hatt - who sang, told jokes and generally entertained everyone.  Their songs went from the sublime to the ridiculous - they are obviously talented in a wide range of musical styles, as well as being excellent entertainers.

An added bonus was the appearance of the the boys from St. Paul's School - also, as one would expect, extremely talented.
