THANKS


Making a CD such as this is a task that cannot be achieved alone, and whilst it is impossible to thank everybody individually, there are a few people without whom this project would not have come to fruition: John Cleese and his management team; Dr Barry Rose, along with Patrick Allen and his staff at Opera Omnia – the results speak for themselves; Catrin Finch – it was a privilege that she could be involved; Bristol Brass Consort; the church wardens and PCC of All Saints’ Church, Weston-super-Mare for donating the use of the church and hall for the entire duration of the recording; Sophie Cleobury - her dedication and hard work have been invaluable to the project’s success; James Davies for his superb session management; Gareth Jones for handling all our early press work; Melanie at design-star*; Robert Rountree, who has spent so much time on this website; Lissie Manners, John and Sally Davies and John Crockford-Hawley - together with an incredible team of caterers, hosts and helpers they ensured that the recording weekend went as smoothly as it did.  Chris Manners must be singled out for the exceptional amount of work he has undertaken on so many levels.  His knowledge, guidance, energy and enthusiasm proved to be the backbone of this whole project.

In no particular order, the generosity of the following individuals and companies is greatly appreciated:
