Berkeley Hill honoured
Congratulations are due to KCOA member Berkeley Hill on the award by the Royal School of Church Music of the Nicholson Award for 'a significant contribution to church music ... at a local RSCM Area level.'
Full details are in the current issue of Church Music Quarterly, on pages 30-31. The article on the award refers to Berkeley's 'over 50 years' service, transforming the choir and music offered in the parish [of St Leonard's, Hythe]'. There is a further article on his 52 years in post and his final choral evensong. If you are affiliated to the RSCM and receive CMQ, it is well worth a look.
