what a wonderful evening! Well worth the drive to Camden. I was going to go alone and so it was a real pleasure to have Mary's company, especially as she did the driving, leaving me free to crochet away the time.

The music was splendid. We sat in comfy armchairs right at the back of the room - lost some of the view but could hear everything clear as a bell.

My favourites were Going On and Crossing the Bar - got to learn both of them soon! It was nice to hear the small group items - one could appreciate the individual voices more that way than in a large group and I think it made the whole performance more interesting.

Maeves beautiful voice rang out loud and clear against Lois's harmony in Ice Storm - such a beautiful piece of work, which can be heard on the 'This Is Us' collection of Mudcat CDs. Gordon's Donkey Engines was so much fun and it was clear the the Quasis really enjoyed that one, as was the case with Suite Spring.

Tom Gunnell, a poem by Hilary Cooke, set to music by Gordon, wasa piece that I hadn't heard before but would love to hear again. Gordon and Carol sang Quiet, by Malvina Reynolds, and had the audience laughing. What a sweet little song!

All in all, a great evening. This is a group of people who clearly enjoy singing together and who, over the years, have formed a magical bond. More please!
