Ken Reed was a tenor and founder member of Ad Murum Singers. His presence, whether at ordinary rehearsals or concerts, was felt by us all. He had a wonderful voice and as such he was the ‘go to’ person when a solo or small group was needed. His warm personality ensured that every new member was welcomed into the choir as a friend and part of the Ad Murum Family, which has been confirmed by several current and past members in the recent days
A Graphic Designer and Artist by profession, Ken was instrumental in the design of the corporate image of the choir that is still in use and much admired today. His singing career with Ad Murum was sadly curtailed by a debilitating illness which robbed him of the ability to speak, On leaving the Choir he was awarded Honorary Life Membership and he did, when health permitted, attend Summer and Christmas Concerts, and still managed to convey his sense of humour and joy.
Whilst no longer with us, his legacy lives on at our concerts, because what you see was his interpretation of ideas from Choir Members as to how the Choir should ‘be presented’. It’s quite clear that he got it absolutely right.
