St Ethelburgas in Bishopsgate holds regular concerts of world music and on Friday I went to hear singers from Georgia - a mountainous region of the old USSR that I always associate with playing West Ham (Tiblisi) and the birthplace of Stalin.
I hoped to hear some of the Orthodox liturgy but not to much of that- instead they sung the songs of remote villages. One was sung by men, who would sing the 'Christ is Risen' chant at Easter, knocking on all the doors in these remote places. The evening was hosted as usual by Wallee- a friend of mine and John's.
