Looking Ahead: Performing at the 80th Anniversary of WWII’s End in Hereford
I’ve been invited to perform at a really special event coming up on 3rd August 2025 at the Hay Craft Centre in Hereford, marking 80 years since the end of World War II.
The event has been organised to unveil a commemorative bench featuring the names of local men who lost their lives during the war – a powerful and permanent reminder of their bravery and sacrifice. It’s being put together by Kelvyn Jenkins and the team, and will be a chance for the community to come together to remember and reflect.
There’ll be a short service led by Canon Paul Wright, including the Last Post and a moment of silence, followed by music (that’s where I come in!). I’ll be singing a selection of vintage and wartime classics – songs that still mean so much, even eight decades on.
After the formal part of the day, there’ll be refreshments and a chance for people to stay, chat, and share stories. Events like this always feel incredibly personal, especially with family members of the fallen invited to attend.
If you’re in the Hereford area and would like to come along, you’re very welcome. And if you are related to any of the names being remembered, Kelvyn would really like to hear from you.
It’s a real privilege to be part of something like this – and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there.

September 15th is marked as the commemoration day for the Battle of Britain so memorials were taking across the country both at RAF bases and in cities.
On October 1st 2017, 9.30 am I have been invited to sing Requiem for a Soldier as part of a commemoration led by David Moore to remember those lost when a Lancaster Bomber crashed near Gunthorpe. Would be lovely to see people there.
