This evening I was at a commemorative concert to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of St Augustine’s Roman Catholic church, Grosvenor Square, All Saints.

Present at the event were the architect Desmond Williams and the artist who created the mural above the altar, Robert Brumby.

There were performances by musicians and singers connected with the Royal Northern College of Music, including sopranos Janet Reeder and Joanna Patocs, who I chatted to after the concert. She recently arrived from Australia to study at the RNCM.

Also present was Eddy Rhead from the 20th century Society, and many others.

St Augustines has been given Grade II listing status by English Heritage.
