Preview of New Song

A solo number by Kit, entitled ‘A Different Vow‘, made its public debut during the Canterbury Arts Conference café book reading and signing event last night.

The song sees Kit reflecting on his successes after graduating from Cambridge.  What if he had fulfilled the terms of his scholarship and gone into the church instead?

Had I made a different vow and served a different master,
would I be here now under the lights and lustre?
