As a little footnote to this thread may I mention an excellent CD of hymns sung by the Lealholm Choir Church in the Wildwood; copies are available from Lealholm Music Productions. There is some great choral singing here, with some lovely and interesting hymns.

The Musical Director of the choir is Joe Skilbeck, and the CD features one of his own compositions 'Jesus gave up His Life'. Some may recall Joe's role in the Men of Staithes choir, for whom he wrote the song 'Heading for the Harbour Lights'. Danny Stradling wrote a good article for Musical Traditions about the Staithes Men's Choir, which mentions Joe in passing.
