Border Marches Early Music Forum
This site was last updated 20 August 2019
Our last workshop of the summer took place in July in Leintwardine. Gabriel Crouch led singers in an exploration of sixteenth century English church music from both the Catholic and Protestant traditions. Ravishing music combined with a most informative and engaging tutor resulted in a really memorable day.
News​​
  • Those of us who knew Roy Davies, husband of Hannah, our late Chairman, will be sad to learn of his death.  Roy was a good friend to BMEMF, always supporting Hannah, and was a kind and cheerful presence at many of our workshops.  There will be a celebration of his life in Hereford Cathedral on August 30th at 1 pm.  On August 31st in the afternoon, there will be a short ceremony in Mainstone Church before his ashes are placed next to Hannah’s remains in the churchyard. 
    Anyone who might like to join Roy's family at either service will be very welcome and can contact Hugh Davies to confirm the time of the Mainstone Church ceremony and if they have any other questions. Hugh's email is hugh_daviesuk@yahoo.co.uk
