On Sunday 18th December, The Voices of the Isle of Wight sang for the Carol Service hosted by the Benedictine community of Quarr Abbey.
The choir of 40 was conducted by Linda Filby-Borrett and accompanied on the organ by James Longford. Nancy Borrett and two of her pupils played the violin.
Two monks of Quarr took the readings and Abbot Xavier concluded with a prayer for Ukraine.
The Congregation filled the church and joined with gusto in singing “Once in the Royal” and “While Shepherds”.
£400 raised for Air Ambulance
The retiring collection was for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance to which Quarr Abbey and The Voices of the Isle of Wight were happy to donate £400.
