A huge thank you to David and the choir for such a wonderful first performance of Echo. I was overwhelmed by the intent and effort that David and the choir put into the piece and it really touched me on a personal as well as musical level.

What stars you are! Thank you all so much for the totally musical and thoroughly professional job you did on Thursday last week. You made it easy for me – something which I really appreciate! It was an enormous pleasure to work with you and credit for the success of the evening goes to you and David just as much as to anyone else.

What a totally flexible, professional and creative choir you have. We couldn’t have asked for a better session and we had a blast.

Most fabulously, Crouch End Festival Chorus added a divine dimension to Days, Waterloo Sunset and Shangri-La (performed here live, Davies said, for the first time). Lovely, lovely, lovely. As the Chorus’s voices soared behind him, Ray Davies looked like a very proud man indeed.
David Cheal
Daily Telegraph
David Temple and the group were outstanding, more than lived up to their excellent reputation. It was truly a highlight of the process.
Andrew Lockington
Film music composer
You and your marvellous choir couldn't have done it better. It was an enormous pleasure and privilege to work together and I can't wait to do it again soon please!!
