Oh no, Christine was ill. So daughter, Nanette Bousfield (what a star!) read Christine’s poetry, sang Beatles songs, and introduced the whole performance to a large and enthusiastic audience with Tom Luckett on keyboard, Geoff Kitson on bass, and John Bousfield on woodwind. Many thanks to everyone.
