Tribute to John Byrt, 1940 - 2021

‘John’s death has bereft you of a loving, caring husband which is more than loss enough in itself.’ ‘It was both a pleasure and a privilege to have the opportunity of working with such a comsumate, eminently capable musician, and witness the high standards he achieved with the choir in the most personable, friendly manner. Tiverton most certainly owes John a colossal debt of gratitude through his generous outreach as both composer and conductor, particularly in helping so many people in the area realise their own musical potential.’
