St John’s Choir in Lockdown2020
During the past nine months, the St John’s choir has become a virtual choir, recording hymns and anthems for use in our services and also a virtual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols for Christmas 2020. All nineteen recordings have been transferred to CD and we are hoping that friends of the church and the choir will purchase one or more of the CDs as Christmas presents and as a keepsake for the unusual times we are living through as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
