David Ashman
March 12, 2018
We are very sorry to hear of the death of former trustee, David Ashman. A kind, gentle and knowledgeable man, David was a talented singer, linguist and musicologist. He was extremely supportive of the Robert Poulton Foundation and was instrumental in putting together the programme for our launch concert at St John’s Smith Square.
Soave sia il vento, David.
Jubilate Rehearsals
September 03, 2017
We are pleased to announce that Jubilate rehearsals resume on Monday 11th Sept 7.30 at:
All Saints Church
Grange Road
Eastbourne
BN21 4HE
We would be very pleased to welcome some new faces.
This exciting concert was the first time that we had combined the forces of both of our projects. We felt that it was particularly appropriate that we celebrated what would have been Robert’s 60th birthday with a composition entitled ‘ Songs of Kindness’. This piece was written especially for us by prize winning composer and Director of ‘Sing it!’, Martin Neill.
Congratulations to Martin Neill!

Congratulations are due to Sing it! Director, Martin Neill, who has won another international composition competition.
His winning work, ‘Sleep Weel my Bairnie’, was written in response to a competition set by Rudsambee Choir in Edinburgh. Composers were asked to set a Scottish text to music for unaccompanied choir.
Martin’s winning composition will be performed by the choir on 13th August, at St Giles’ Cathedral, Edinburgh. Further details www.rudsambee.org.uk.
You can hear ‘Songs of Kindness’ also written by Martin Neill in our 60th Birthday Celebration at 7pm, June 26th All Saints Church, Grange Road Eastbourne BN21 4HE.
