The organ was played by Chris Cipkin, and the singers taking part were:

Soprano Catherine Bass, Ali Burroughes, Cathy Carr, Sarah Franks, Sue Garlick, Juliet Grayson, Lucy LeFanu, Esther Levin, Jo Tucker

Following a recent bereavement in the choir, it was decided not to perform in public, and the concert was therefore cancelled.
