How to keep in touch with your computer, tablet or smart phone

We have a Facebook page and also a Group on Facebook. If you use Facebook just type Cannington Music into the search bar at the top and both should appear in the list. If you “like” the page or join the group you will be able to see all the postings.

I also write a Blog on the music in the church. This gives notice of all upcoming concerts and often lists the whole of the programme details. Happy reading.

Lastly, we keep an email publicity list and I send emails before every concert. The trouble is you must remember to inform me if you change your address. It happens a lot that people forget and it is hard to keep it up to date.

If you send an email to cannington.music@gmail.com I will add you to this list . It would help me no end if you make the subject “ Mailing list” Do the same if you are not sure if you are on the list! Please note this is NOT my personal address.
