There were around a score of us Staxton Singers and about the same number of young people, and it was a great joy to learn - very quickly1 - several new pieces written by Jonathan himself as well as a piece from 'Cargo.' I'm sad that I had to leave early for another commitment: I won't make that mistake again!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Meanwhile at our weekly practices we're busy brushing up some carols for Christmas and looking for ideas for concerts next year, our 25th anniversary, so if you can think of anything please get in touch: <a href="mailto:admin@staxtonsingers.org" title="email" link="" to="">email me</a>, or contact us through our <a href="http://www.staxtonsingers.org/" title="link to our web site">website</a> or just add a comment to this post.</span><a href="mailto:admin@staxtonsingers.org"></a></div><a href="mailto:admin@staxtonsingers.org"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7301941936395190517-5873895802166454449?l=staxtonsingers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Trevor Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03214779745643600578noreply@blogger.com0
