RIP - Barry Eaden
It is with great sadness that I share the news of the death of Barry Eaden, a committed and faithful servant of church music in this Diocese.
Barry was not only a fine choir trainer and conductor but also a gifted percussionist, well-remembered, too, for his many contributions to local orchestras and his work as a tutor for the Cambridge Schools Holiday Orchestra in its early days.
Of late ill-health had necessitated Barry having to live in a residential home in Bottisham and he died there peacefully on 10 April, aged 73. When Barry "retired" from his Diocesan music duties it became evident that we owed him an immense debt of gratitude and that the jobs he had done so patiently and carefully were going to need many more people to do them instead. In recognition of all his service to church music, Barry was awarded the "Certificate for Special Service" by the Royal School of Church Music - only a few are awarded each year.
