That was a trifle unfair - Bald Eagle. Most of the people who are singing at the cathedral will also be in the pubs around our end of Sheffield and have been for years. If the cathedral concert gives an introduction to the music then fair enough and I can't see why you can't do both.

Being a foreigner - I withdraw from any comments about carols participation in pubs and otherwise and especially what should or should not be sung.

Enjoy the season

All the best Julie
