Inspired by a similar event in Oxford, it will be the first time the local singers will have done a May Day choral performance.
From atop the church’s tower, 12 experienced choristers will perform unaccompanied for about 10 minutes from 8am to celebrate dawn of summer.
Gary Dourdan Sets Out to Rescue His Wife in Redemption Day Digital Download Giveaway

Actor Gary Dourdan is being forced to take drastic action to save the woman he loves in the newly released trailer and poster for the upcoming action movie, ‘Redemption Day.’ The drama’s assets have been unveiled in support of its upcoming theatrical distribution this Friday, January 8, and subsequent release On Demand and Digital this Tuesday, January 12, courtesy of Saban Films.
‘Redemption Day‘ was co-written by Sam Chouia and Hicham Hajji, the latter of whom also directed and produced the film. In addition to Dourdan, the movie also stars Serinda Swan, Martin Donovan, Ernie Hudson, Samy Naceri and Andy Garcia.
Gary Dourdan deserves better. The former “CSI” star, also known for “Alien: Resurrection,” has a strong screen presence that suggests something deeper beneath the surface. Unfortunately, his star turn in the abduction thriller “Redemption Day,” the feature directing debut of Moroccan producer Hicham Hajji, is not the tool to excavate that something. Although Hajji has assembled an impressive supporting cast, including Andy Garcia, Martin Donovan, Ernie Hudson and Canadian actress Serinda Swan, the script by Hajji, Sam Chouia and Lemore Syvan is dreadfully dull and underdeveloped, ridden with bland, limply delivered dialogue. There’s not a thrill to be found in this ostensible thriller, a rote kidnapping exercise taped together with digital blood spatter and an overly dramatic score, vaguely gesturing at global crises from five years ago.
