CONGRATULATIONS TO BEN ENGLAND B.E.M!
Everyone connected to the Good Afternoon Choirs was delighted with the news that Ben England had received the British Empire Medal in the Queens Birthday Honours announced on Saturday October 10th.
This honour recognises Ben’s work running online Choirs and Orchestras during the pandemic and it was his inspiration that led many, many other choir leaders across the World to follow in his footsteps. And you will all agree that this is well deserved recognition for his talent and his musical ability.
