My children’s choir, King’s Junior Voices was fortunate to be invited to sing one of the winning carols in The King’s Singers recent carol competition A carol for Christmas. Jo Nicholl’s winning carol Christmas Bells was workshopped by Stephen Cleobury and broadcast on Christmas Day on Classic FM radio. Watch here
KJV also appeared on Cambridge TV when they sang as guests at Prime Brass’s Christmas by the Fireside concerts at West Rd Concert Hall. Watch here(KJV sing Away in a Manger half way through).
Good luck to my singing pupil Agatha who is one of 8 finalists in this year’s BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year.

I’m so proud of my singing pupils “The boys of King’s College Choir fully live up to their illustrious tradition and treble Tom Pickard in the ‘Pie Jesu’ sends shivers down the spine in the approved manner’. ‘The ‘Messe Basse’ is an absolute delight, the trebles Joshua Curtis and Adam Banwell matching their colleague in radiance of tone.’ Voices of radiance .
