Choir welcomed back to Battle church

AMACHOEUR, the French choir from Picardy, have made a return to Battle following their well received performances last year.

Welcomed to the church of St Mary the Virgin by the Dean, Dr John Edmondson, these accomplished voices delighted a large audience with a varied programme of song, including Scottish and English folksongs, plantation spirituals and sacred works.

The choir performed under the enthusiastic direction of Pascale-Odile Roussel and the visit was arranged through the Battle Twinning Association whose French president, Guy Grognet, was one of the male voices.
