Mechelen

What a pretty town Mechelen is! Quite the hidden gem. Lovely walking around while the sun shines fleetingly; and seeing people relaxed, sitting outside cafes and restaurants in the main square.The church we're singing in tonight is perfect for the new programme, "Royal Blood", devised by Johnny, and which includes some renaissance all-time masterpieces. It also features Sir Richard Rodney Bennett's divine work, Sermons and Devotions - a personal favourite - whose colourful harmonies should shimmer in this acoustic. What an evening to look forward to!
