The choral tradition in the UK is one of the world's musical jewels. Former choristers often attribute their successes in later life to years spent at cathedral music foundations, including our special guest Alexander Armstrong – the actor and presenter was a chorister in Edinburgh. Joseph chats to Christopher Gray, Director of Music at Truro Cathedral, about the challenges and rewards of running a provincial cathedral choir. We also explore our own backgrounds as choristers, including some clips from our treble days!
