June 2005 - "Sailin' Doon the Watter"
In June 2005 we hired the world's last sea-going paddle steam ship, the Waverley, for a trip down the river and back. In all the trip takes around 3 hours. Not a concert in the conventional sense of the word, but a chance to hear the choir, its soloists, and some friends in an informal, sometimes humorously irreverent fun filled evening.

Docked at Pacific Quay, beside the Millennium Tower
Elegance from a bygone age?
