I was delighted to have been involved in the Sherborne Abbey Music Festival and to have played in the beautiful ancient Church of St Mary Magdalene, Castleton. As a bonus I was allowed to go and play in Sherborne Abbey - just for fun! I didn't realize at the time that Josie had captured this on her iPhone. The Smallman sounded amazing! A nice memory :)
