Click here to listen to it or watch the video below. "I hope we did your Agnus Dei justice - we certainly loved singing it and I have found myself singing it to myself ever since. Your setting of the well-known words is lyrical and tuneful and a delight to sing." (Hilary Kemmett, poet)
"I have already listened to 'They Shall Grow Not Old' several times and, together with the images, found the experience very moving indeed! It is a wonderful tribute to your Great-uncle and my Grand-father. Sincerely, I shall cherish such an individually dedicated piece of work!" (Peter Reynolds) "Privileged to hear the world premiere of 'They Shall Grow Not Old' - such a moving piece. It deserves to get a much wider audience" (Katie Fforde, author) "A refreshing new interpretation of those moving words - so apt in this 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, and a moving tribute to your relative, Michael" (Jane Foreman) Click here to hear his 'They Shall Grow Not Old', performed by The Thames Head Singers in July 2016.
