But the journey was a good one and we arrived at Cinnamon in Newton Stewart only a little bit late. Cinnamon is a Christian Bookshop/cafe run by Janette and Angus Tait, who were our main contacts in the Newton Stewart area. We were given a lovely meal there and then traveled to Wigtown for our rehearsal- about 6 miles from Newton Stewart. The County Buildings were the venue for the rehearsal and the performance, and we had an exciting time setting up, with Simon, Laura and I becoming honourary technicians. This was in fact a bit of an introduction to the whole tour for Laura, who often found herself in control of sound as well as the powerpoint. So at Wigtown she had to press play and pause on the CD, make sure the projector slides had been moved on correctly, and control the mics, which would have been an easy task but for the buzzing which meant they had to be turned down completely between every song!
The choir were fantastic (trained by Colin) and it was lovely to get to know them during quite a hectic rehearsal. We were also put up by many of the choir members over the two nights we were in the area, so huge thanks to them!
