The City of Ely, with its magnificent cathedral, is just 15 minutes by
train from Cambridge. Clarke Brunt, who is attending the Swift
Conference, sings with Ely Choral Society. Details for tickets (also
available at the event on the night - it's a huge venue, so it won't
sell out!) are on the website and poster, but if you order via Clarke
<clarke.brunt@viridis.net>, for delivery at the conference, then a
greater proportion of the money will go to the Choral Society.
