Newport Pagnell Parish Church Choir at Wakefield Cathedral 1999

Nice to stumble across this amazing video - thanks for uploading.

I was part of the choir at the time and can remember going up to Wakefield to sing in this Evensong - brings back memories.

Nick Read did an astounding job in training an amateur choir from a tiny town in North Bucks to sing to such a high standard that was undoubtedly the best in the region and not out of place singing at a cathedral with only 2 hours practice a week to do it

@texaspete0001 Hi. Nick Read here. Glad you liked the clip. I've been trying to place you Peter and guess you must be Peter Brant? I have dvd copies of both our visits to Wakefield - Do get in touch if you would like copies. Best wishes. Nick

Very good!

(I would have liked a more closed vowel O for "soul" and "Holy", but maybe that's how they do it in Bucks!)

Good accompaniment too.
