So, we recently celebrated 25 years of Mustard Seed Songs with an event at Holy Rood church, Stubbington. In addition to me being interviewed by the Vicar, Richard England, the Mustard Seed Soul Band reformed and played 5 songs. We were hoping that our original singer, the fantastic Lucy Stimpson- Maynard would be able to perform, but she had unfortunately hurt her hand so badly that an operation was required.
Well the evening was a huge success, please see Blog March 6th Mustard Seed 25th Year Celebration Part Three | Risen so much so that we plan to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our first musical “His Story” again at Holy Rood church on Saturday November 8th. I will give you more details over the coming weeks, but as a taster today’s featured video is a promo taken from a “His Story” production at the Kings Theatre, Southsea. It features Lucy Stimpson- Maynard, The Mustard Seed Soul Band and the Crofton Hammond Infant Choir- Mary mother of Jesus is played by Michelle Antrobus and John by Ben Morris. At the time they were both studying at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. Both later en performed in the West End, Ben, for example in “Phantom of the Opera” and Michelle in “Chicago.”
I’ll share more of “His Story” next week.
