IS there a would-be Gareth Malone out there? My friends and I spent a pleasant hour prior to Christmas singing carols with ‘churches together’ at Boscombe, with the Christchurch U3A brass band.

As regular churchgoers we know how enjoyable it can be singing together and the words and music uplifting.

Wouldn’t it be good to lift the spirits of Boscombe residents to have a community choir. Gareth’s choirs have been inspiring. Could anyone mimic him?
