‘Three albums, a film. We've sung in amazing places. We've sung in the De Montfort Hall in Leicester, we've sung for the Defence National Rehabilitation Centre. We did some fundraising for them. That was amazing. We've sung at Peterborough Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral but there's also those local churches where we've had concerts for them and they are very special, very intimate, very special. So we're very lucky really yeah we've had lots of opportunities.’
