A Night Where Music Met Candlelight

On Saturday 17 May 2025, St Peter & St Paul Church in the charming village of Great Bowden was transformed into a glowing sanctuary of over 300 flickering candles. The gentle light, lit ancient stone arches while unforgettable film themes filled the nave. We had such a fun time preparing all the music and making sure the atmosphere was perfect. As the sun went down the concert began!

A Blockbuster Programme

We curated a cinematic set‑list designed to stir memories and spark emotion, many are personal favourites:

• Braveheart – “For the Love of a Princess”

• How to Train Your Dragon Medley

• The Mission – "Gabriel’s Oboe"

• James Bond - No Time To Die

• …and other silver‑screen classics that had audiences humming long.
