We were introduced because someone noticed we had a common interest in
Gilbert & Sullivan, and we
were both involved with Hounslow Light Opera Company for a while. Some years ago, the Den was host to their website. The old site is redundant apart from these show photos.
Michael was a founder member of Berkshire Youth Choir,
though he aged out of it before they became the nationally, even internationally, known group they are now. BY Senior, an organisation for past members of the choir, has been formed and he sings with them when he can, which isn't as often as he'd like.
More recently, both Barbara and Michael have been singing with The Harlequin Players, a
light opera group based at St. Alban's, North Harrow. So far we have sung in two concerts with them. The first was a
"Celebration", it being the 75th birthday of the church, and involved a major costume change for each decade, while the second was a "Continental Café" and Barbara had a costume change for each geographic locale where the songs were set.
