Make a note in your diary for St Andrew’s Music Week 2023 which begins on Tuesday 10th October and ends with a fund-raising Concert on Monday 16th October.
During the week the Facilitator for this year’s Music Week, Neale Agnew, will work with the St. Andrew’s Singers which comprises members of the church choir supplemented by friends and colleagues.

From a young age, Neale has been involved in every aspect of choral music – as a singer, conductor, accompanist and organ soloist, beginning his passion for church music as a chorister in First Presbyterian Church, Bangor at the age of 8. He has been Director of Music in Fisherwick Presbyterian Church, Belfast since 2005.
Neale has worked with many of Ulster’s leading choirs and choral societies and his interest in liturgical music has given him opportunities to perform at venues throughout Ireland, in England, in Germany, Austria and in the USA.
He is a Past President of the Ulster Society of Organists & Choirmasters, sat on the Advisory Committee of the Incorporated Association of Organists and is currently on the Board of the Northern Ireland International Organ Competition.
A retired primary school teacher, Neale now divides his time between church music, teaching piano and cycling.

This was also Bishop Michael’s last service in St Andrew’s before his retirement and so a presentation of a painting of Kyrenia Harbour by Maxene Schailer was made to him and his wife Julia.
We wish them both a long and happy retirement, and every blessing to Fr Alec and his wife Linda as they begin their ministry here in St Andrew’s.
Laus Deo!
