Like last year’s, this year’s event was in aid of two deserving local charities, Salford Loaves and Fishes and Caritas Diocese of Salford. June Ashton of Notability was the driving force behind its organisation. As always, it was a joy for the two choirs to combine forces, this year striking notes of tender serenity in the pieces by Rachmaninov and Will Todd, and of quirky exuberance in Bob Chilcott’s Sussex Carol arrangement.
