abcd Convention Day 1

Birmingham. Centre of the choral world. Opening singing session led by John Rutter including the second performance of "This is the day" written for the Royal Wedding. Got a mention in the Chair's reception. Fascinating final session with a mixture of singing and chat concluding with a 25th Anniversary cake-cutting by Brian Kay, John Rutter and Pam Cook. Food and bar service up to the mark. Midland Region working well.
