Hello everyone and welcome to the information page
Over time, this page will be updated and added to.
For now, it has information about PERSONNEL, REHEARSALS & PERFORMANCES.
Some of the rehearsal information is very precise, some of it - at this stage – is a little more ‘rough’. The rough bits will become precise as we get a sense of everyone’s availability.
