I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry about this, so I just rolled my eyes.

Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at??

The review has been taken down now. I think it was not genuine - for example, surely anyone who appeared to understand David Willcocks' part in the history of the service would surely also know what form its liturgy took.

Yes, IMO Mr Cleobury's descant was clumsy and slightly odd compared to the skill of the Willcocks examples we heard.

Can't help but feel sorry for Willcocks' successors, having to dream up new ways to "final verse" the old favourites.

I doubt it's part of the contract. :)

Thanks for posting that up, K. Just listened to it. A most enjoyable Carol Service. Is Karensa Briggs related to David?

[DracoM]

Many thx from me too.

Kerensa (sp.) is the daughter of David Briggs.
