Only discovered this site in the last 24 hours but I certainly recall the Noye's Floode version you refer to ...1976 I think. Mr. Upton played God, which we all found very appropriate. He was a vicar and taught Latin. I remember listening to the Top Twenty on Tuesday lunchtimes in his Latin lessons through a tiny earpiece with my transistor in the desk. He never noticed. Whether or not I still possess a vinyl version of the above-mentioned choral work I'm not sure.Jude wrote:Does anyone have a copy or even remember performing Noyes Floode at the Hertford Parish Church? I was a pea-hen - boringly covered in brown all over!! I can still hear parts of it in my head - especially the Keria's..!
If anyone has a copy, or can find it to download please contact me - I would like to annoy my offspring with yet more of the accomplishments of their mother!!!

ALEX VAN SOMERAN!! I was playing persussion with you that day too! Mary Smith was the teacher and just moments before my loudest crash on the gong she decided I wasn't going to do it loud enough, took the beater from me and did it herself! I was livid!Alex vS wrote:I played the timpani and cymbals - got to do the thunder and lightening - my crowning moment in the orchestra!! Must have been 1982, '83 or '84 coz I left Summer '84 and I must have been 14 or older. My music teacher was hovering in the background terrified that I'd crash the symbols at the wrong place and helping retune the drums.
