I couldn\u2019t believe my good fortune when I got the chance to perform with Canterbury Rock Choir in Colyer-Fergusson Hall! When I joined the Estates Department I minuted the monthly project board meetings for the Colyer-Fergusson building at a time when the project\u00a0was nearing its completion.<\/p>\n

I knew that the choir had chosen a venue with outstanding acoustics which would show us off to best advantage, and it did not disappoint. \u00a0Family and friends loved the performances and so did I – every minute of it! \u00a0The choir sounded its absolute best and I’m still buzzing from the excitement of it all!\u00a0 I don\u2019t play a musical instrument, I\u2019m not musical but I can sing in tune and love singing. To get the chance to perform in the hall was absolutely marvellous.<\/p>\n
