This is an article I found today online  –

The ban on gay weddings in church has been lifted by the House of Lords, and it is Expected that it will soon be approved by the House of Commons as well. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/gay-weddings-to-be-allowed-in-church-1915467.html Our production company is looking for a gay or lesbian couple who want to have a traditional church wedding and who will be planning a wedding as soon as the ban is legally lifted.

If you are a wedding planner and believe you have a couple who would be perfect for this please get in touch.

They still sung brilliantly despite the fact that The Colne Community School Choir had some of their members missing because they had to participate in a Dance exam which took place the same evening.

Led by Geoff Osborne ( Head of the Music Dept at the Colne Community School ) and Alison Benz singing coach Colne Fusion performed alongside other schools from Essex in Colchester’s Colne Round Table Schools Prom at The Charter Hall, Colchester.
