Last evening we went to a concert at Settle's Victoria Hall. It was a sell-out plus a long waiting list. Why?
It was the Kings College Cambridge choral scholars on tour - nowadays called The Kings Men. They had just toured the USA and Settle was their first venue of a tour of northern England. Who should turn up on our doorstep this morning but the Kings Men! After a tour of the tower the temptation to test the accoustics of the main room was just too much. Here they are - or 5/7ths of them at any rate - raising the roof with a memorable rendition of Blue Moon.
They had fallen in love with Settle and hoped to be back next year, with I'm a Train I'm a Chooka Train high on their agenda. They left us to go to Ribblehead where I imagine the lunch-timers at The Station Inn were in for an impromptu treat.
