Festival of Lessons and Carols from Ripon Cathedral

[@Goodchappy]

Absolutely brilliant. Excellent Choir, Excellent organist, Excellent organ. I really enjoyed this. Particularly liked The Holly & The Ivy. 👍🏻Watching from near St. Albans.

I hope Ripon realizes that they have i believe the best choir and organist in the UK. The thrilling high notes are reached in volume and perfectly tuned. Those diff colored robes scattered here and there (red now, black the other night) are cool and engaging for some reason. The choristers are relaxed, instead of unnaturally stiff. Ive watched tons of choirs. Yours is outstanding and God-breathed. My prayers and support are with you. ❤😊

Never heard the Herefordshire carol sung as well! Great to hear Tim Harper’s Holly & Ivy again.

​@@Pedro-pg5ho I agree, that organist brings it all to life, the organ is a cracker which helps.
