To celebrate singing in all 42 Cathedrals I had a party with a rather special cake:
Cathedral cake
Not surprisingly, I’ve been asked several times what my next ambition is. I don’t have anything definite, as it’s nice after all these years to feel I’m not chasing round the country to meet a target. But there are some things it would be nice to do, some of which really ought to be easier than singing in forty-two Cathedrals.
a) Anglican Cathedrals in Wales. I’ve sung in two of the six, and would happily accept, or even arrange visits to any of the remaining four (Bangor, St. Asaph, St. Woolos, Brecon).
b) Singing in the Royal Albert Hall. Ideally this would be at a Promenade concert, but failing that there is the Really Big Chorus. A neighbour is also interested in this venture and I might join him.
c) Singing in the Lord Mayor’s Chapel in Bristol, either at a service or in a concert with the Chapel Singers. I’m on the dep list, which in theory ought to mean I get invited to join the Singers’ concerts.
I have some other interesting venues lined up in the spring, so watch this space.
