Frank Bough was a valued choir member

As the Chair of the Royal Free Singers in Windsor, I was pleased to read Steve Bough’s piece about his father, Frank, [in the Express’ sister paper, the Maidenhead

Advertiser] and wanted to tell you about another very positive part of his life as a much-valued member of our choir.

Frank’s wife, Nesta, joined us in 1990 and when we went on tour to Hungary in 1994, we were delighted when Frank signed up to come along too.

He decided that, if he was going, he might as well do some singing!

He brought to us a beautiful bass voice, a warm presence, a delightful sense of fun, 100 per cent commitment, quiet professionalism and a kind smile for ever yone.

In other words, all the skills and experience he had honed in his day job were bestowed on us.

Nesta tells us that one of the highlights of his membership of the choir was performing the Bach Mass in B Minor at Eton College School Hall.

The media industry’s loss was certainly our gain and his extended family of fellow singers will miss him greatly.
