Some comments from the Festival participants:-

"A very big thank you to all involved with the day, which culminated in a wonderful evening. Our daughter was absolutelt bubbling when we collected her at the end of the day. She had thoroughly enjoyed herself and felt very privileged to have the opportunity to work with such accomplished soloists and director, a fantastic opportunity for her . The resulting concert was a triumph. Well done to everyone ".

"Just a BIG thank you for organising such an enjoyable day on Saturday. Where did the day go? The logistics in a day like Saturday are huge and I just wanted to pass on my thanks. Speaking last night to friends at the Choral Society to which I belong (both those taking part and those listening) - the overwhelming feedback was 'fabulous'".

"This is just a note to say how much our ten members who attended on Saturday enjoyed the experience. The whole day was very well organised and very good value for money, especially the refreshments etc. A lot of hard work had obviously gone into the planning of such a big event. It was also an inspired choice to get Mike Brewer 'on board'. The Armed Man is a wonderful piece, and although we had sung it before it was great to be in such a big choir. Well done - we would love to hear of any future projects you are organising".

"It was nice to see the Choirs in Quiet Places team again. We enjoyed the day very much. One of the local Basses took us all back for tea and a warm-up at his house. He and his wife were most gracious hosts. It's moments like that that make an occasion special. And it's always fun to work with Mike".

"Hello and thanks very much for Saturday's fantastic event. Both my daughter and I got so much from this".

"Thank you for a wonderful day yesterday. The Minster School Orchestra was superb, and it was heartening to see young people singing in the choir. I have always wanted to sing 'The Armed Man', so to learn and perform it in one day was a great achievement by everybody. It was also a privilege to be conducted by Mike Brewer - I think we all learnt a lot from him and from the soloists who took the sessions."

"We had a wonderful day on Saturday and the concert was excellent. Thank you for your hard work and excellent organisation".

"I want to thank you most sincerely for a wonderful day last Saturday. It was truly inspirational! I have to admit that I started the day with a degree of reticence, as it was the middle of winter, cold and I was uncertain about many things, but it finished with great exhilaration. When we got home, the first thing we did was to play the CD and sing it all again, even though it was past midnight! Please arrange more events like this! I can guarantee full support".

"Just to say thank you for a very successful day on Saturday - the girls from my school had a really exciting time, and I think the whole day went very well indeed, not least thanks to your careful planning. What a great event!"

"Just a short email to let you know that our girls are still buzzing about the concert this past Saturday. In fact, they are hoping that something like this will be on for next year. If so, count us in! It was a superb day and evening and we are very gratfeul to you and your staff for taking the time to organise such an event. We were all so impressed with the total organisation of the day and felt at ease and welcome by all".

"We loved it! Two individuals (not part of choral society etc) great introduction - first time for us. Would love to participate in similar event at Easter! Have you got anything lined up?"

"We had not come across Mike Brewer before, but we all thoroughly enjoyed our day on Saturday. The organisation was very good, and we were all taken with Mike's charisma. We would certainly be interested in future events".
