St Mary's Church, Barnes - 8 December 2013

[John]

Another wonderful concert on Sunday evening.
Mary-Jess sang to a packed church, with support from two choirs (different age groups) from the Harrodian School, and special guest - Isabel Suckling (The Choirgirl).

There were many similarities with the set list from Cheltenham, but also some notable differences.

Stand Alone, with the senior choir, was sensational, and 'How Much Does a Rainbow Weigh?' with the junior choir was delightful.

Isabel and Mary-Jess sang 'Walking in the Air' in a new arrangement with lovely harmonies.

But the highlight of the evening once again was the final song in Chinese Even better for hearing it a second time

Hi all,

Still buzzing after a great concert at Barnes by Mary-Jess, ably supported by Isabel Suckling.

As John said, the highlight was the final song in Chinese which was just beautiful. I am so pleased that Mary-Jess confirmed she would be singing it at Chessington, can't wait!

Here are a few photos from the concert

Now we can read Mary-Jess's own thoughts about the evening on her website, together with a quote from "an active member of my fan forum" ;D

A big thank you to my good friend Charles Haswell for all his help in organise this concert at St. Mary’s Church in Barnes! He had the wonderful idea of inviting the Harrodian School Choirs along to join me and I was delighted when they agreed!

Along with the Harrodian School Choirs, I was also joined by Isabel Suckling as my special guest. She has a stunning choral voice....
