our tribute to one of our own...

We are saying our fond farewell to our singing colleague, Tenor 1 Fred Lake.  His unexpected passing is still beyond our day-to-day belief and the thoughts of everyone associated with Norwich's Phoenix Male Voice Choir remain with his immediate family and friends for whom those feelings are all the more intense at this very sad moment.

We have been deeply privileged by his family to be asked to sing at his service and we accept with humility, but with solemn pride to thank Fred for his unwavering support of our Choir and to honour his memory as part of our heartfelt tribute to one of our own.

Meanwhile, we have substituted the banners on the Choir's Twitter account @PhoenixMVC (http://www.twitter.com/PhoenixMVC) which now reflect one of the messages in music we will remember him by, and a cameo picture of the Fred we knew and remember as our Singing Friend.

Thoughts and Prayers, Fred.  Rest Peacefully.
