FREE CONCERT OFFER

In August 2008, Fr John Glynn & Aquila recorded their latest album, "Let Me be your home" at Cathedral House in Brentwood.  Now Fr John's Aquila Music Trust is offering parishes a free concert for their parishioners on one of the dates below.  Because of the restricted number of dates available, these concerts will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

The concerts include songs and psalms of hope and trust from Fr John's 3 albums, including the world famous "I Watch the Sunrise". It is arranged into 2 x 45 minutes performances, separated by a 20 minutes interval.  Concerts are offered to parishes on the following basis:

Fr John and the other musicians receive no payment from the Trust other than out of pocket expenses. 

The Trust charges NO fee to the parish.  The Trust supplies posters, flyers and one complimentary copy of the CD [for parish use], in advance of the concert.

The Trust does hold a collection during the interval to allow the audience to contribute what they can or wish: 70% of the collection goes towards meeting the costs and expenses of the concert and is taken by the Trust; 20% of the collection is donated to the parish or a charity of its choice; and 10% is donated to CAFOD. The Trust sells CDs, tapes and songbooks before and after the concert and during the interval.  Again. 10% of all sales go to CAFOD.

Each parish is requested to provide refreshments for the audience during the interval. Parishes including Wickford, Wanstead, Springfield, Clacton, Fareham, and Walsingham enjoyed the 2008 Tour and a Preview of the 2009 Tour was held as the final ecumenical event of Hope 2008 at St Andrew's Anglican Church in Wickford at the end of last year.
