I'm sorry two readers (Caroline Blackett, Letters, May 30 and Sheila Kent, Letters, June 1) found that two recent concerts at St Bart's were marred by the seating.

Promoters hire the church for a fixed fee and I try to cater for their estimated audience numbers.

It is only occasionally I have to set out all the chairs but I have taken this criticism on board. We have some good concerts booked and I will ensure there is more space between the chairs when we next anticipate a full house.
