CONGRATULATIONS to Swindon Choral Society for the magnificent concert at the Wyvern.

I went as an ordinary member of the public (ie, not a friend or relation of any of the participants), although I can claim considerable musical expertise. It was a thrilling evening.

Please let's have more like this with lots of publicity before the event, and a fair review afterwards.

In spite of certain weaknesses (it's rare to have none in a live performance), a review in this case would surely have to classify as a rave.
