It is with very great regret and sadness that we have learnt of the passing away of Norman.
Norman was an inspiration to everyone who met him. He loved bringing the joys of singing to everyone he met , was with us as our M.D. for over 15 years and was just great fun to be with.
Our next production of L'Elisir d'Amore is dedicated to his memory.
