Organ students from Royal College of Organists accredited institutions in the North West of England performed a lunchtime recital at Leeds Cathedral. Amongst those playing was one of my Bolton school students. www.leedsconcertseason.co.uk/watch-online/

Well done to all the singers who journeyed through the rehearsal period of this complex programme and performing the repertoire with total conviction and commitment. Sensitive, well tuned and totally brilliant.

Many thanks to the BBC for inviting members of my choir at Bury Parish Church back to sing with the Daily Service Singers and BBC Philharmonic. Had a great afternoon singing Christmas Carols with fellow choirs. Looking forward to hearing the concert on BBC Radio 4 in the run up to Christmas Day!
