The Armed Man, Karl Jenkins (Come and Sing)

Additional information for singers:
-
The suggested dress code is black bottom and a single colour top, but we always say we’d rather singers be comfortable than not sing because they haven’t got the right thing to wear.
-
If travelling by train, the church is about a 10 minute taxi ride from the station.
-
There is unrestricted parking on the roads surrounding the church.
-
The number 7 bus route runs along Kimbolton Road from the town centre and the nearest stop is just a short walk away.
-
The hall will be open all afternoon so you can stay there between rehearsal and the performance (usually 1.5hrs) or there is a nice pub serving food just across the road.
