Many Thanks:

To David Jang for his quiet brilliance and for
putting the feast into this ‘Festival’

To the ever-patient Ryan Granville-Martin for
braving Christmas in August

To Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Cafe family for
spreading the word

Lastly, to my Michèle for being my living-room audience of one for many years and who so delicately balances an appreciative ear with an occasional sharp tongue.

Note: A couple of these carols appear on another recording of mine - “A Coventry Christmas” in which they were arranged for voices and piano. All the carols on this CD are arranged for solo piano in response to many requests from listeners.

‘A Festival of Carols’ is dedicated to all the church organists and choirmasters who work so hard to bring Joy to the World.

All inquiries and enthusiastic feedback gratefully received
