Does it end with a performance? I'm nowhere good enough to take part but it is quite near me so I'd be interested to be an audience.

In a way it does on Sunday afternoon as we run through all the music we have covered over the weekend, but not usually to an audience! We are always keen to encourage players though - why not give Claire or Colin a ring?

Father's Day! I will see what they think.
