Subject: RE: Hymns - Unintelligible?
Mr. Happy - no, Songs of Praise has a real congregation made up of the regular congregation of the host church plus members of other congregations.
I played in the orchestra for a couple of programmes and the congregations were ticket only and there was a rehearsal on a previous evening. There were also guest spots recorded separately.
One of the services I played for a was a Christmas service recorded sometime in October or November I think - the place was bedecked with holly especially for the rehearsal and recording.
I couldn't tell what they were singing either.
Cheers,
