Would have loved to have heard this choir at Peterborough back in the day. Incredible sound of the boy's voices!!

Gosh. Thankyou so much for this.

[@Cantorisalto1]

Very Barchester!!

Right at the start we get the end of Psalm 85, sung to Stanley Vann’s wonderful D flat chant 😊

Yes, unfortunately, the beginning of the recording is missing and cuts in at this point.

May l ask what has happened to St. John’s, Cambridge? In the 70s under George Guest the choir was very much the matching pair of King’s. Now very little seems to be heard of this fine choir, as l knew it. Does anyone know more?

I'd hazard a guess and say woke infiltration. Sadly, it's happening in many of the once-traditional choral establishments in England. It truly is such a depressing state of affairs.

[@Cantorisalto1]

Absolutely spot on - gone forever, ruined!!

1960? Andrew arrived in 1971.

Though listening out for key men in Stanley's choir, it's certainly pre Andrew Newberry's time.
