After a record dry summer, we had a record wet winter. So the reservoirs are full again and canal levels well up - sometimes too well up. However, that was the case this time last year, so we hope that the same scenario does not play out. It is good to see boats through the locks again and activity that has been sadly lacking since they closed due to water shortage last August. Some unseasonably warm weather also brought the visitors out now that there is something for them to see. Unfortunately the wet weather has not been kind to the towpaths and footpaths. The all-encompassing mud is a bit of a hazard. 

On the evening of Saturday 25^th April the Harborough Singers will make a rare appearance at Market Harborough Methodist Church, Northampton Road. The choir will perform a concert of music inspired by the phrase ‘In the Evening Light’. Perfect for a sunset performance on a spring evening, conductor Charlie Penn has searched high and low for beautiful pieces so that the choir can present their choral reflections at the close of day. Charlie’s selection includes well-known tunes like ‘Loch Lomond’ and the Spiritual ‘Deep River’, as well as classical offerings such as Rheinberger’s Evening Song and Charles Wood’s ‘Music, when soft voices die’, right through to exquisite modern pieces such as Tichele’s ‘Earth Song’ and Whitacre’s ‘A boy and a girl’ which the choir enjoy singing very much.

As Robin and Maid Marian disappear into the sunset, the remaining good folk of LMT have to turn their hand to entertaining and amusing our lovely audiences.

Actors and crew wanted for amateur short film.
