Re Performance of Mahler 8 in Liverpool Cathedral 1st October 2011

From a member of the RLPC who asked for her comment to be passed on:-

.... Ian, it was a privilege to sing behind your boys tonight. They were a credit to you, their parents and their Church. Whatever you did in rehearsal today worked so the singing was great but more than that they were very well behaved, really polite and it was obvious that they wanted to do a good job.
