Our Summer tour in 2000 was indeed special. We toured in the Channel Islands – making up for our lack of an island performance on our 1998 tour in Kent. Okay, the islands are not strictly part of Great Britain (did you know that?) but close enough for us. We gave performances in both Guernsey and Jersey and a special performance on the little island of Sark where there is no traffic, except horses and bikes. We remember having to stop suddenly in the middle of a piece as of music caused a passing horse to rear up in alarm. We didn’t think we were that bad! The transfer flight between the two islands was a special memory too for this was the first time that we had chartered a flight and so we had the plane to ourselves – for all the 5 minute flight! The meals provided by our hosts on all our tours is always outstanding – not more so on this tour as various churches from around the islands seemingly vied to provide the best and biggest meals. It was nice too on this tour to meet up with our old friend the Rev John Tudor (formally of Westminster Hall) who MC’d one of our best concerts of the tour in a packed hall at Les Cotils Christian Centre on Guernsey.
