Carols at Kings BBC 2 @ 5.39

Enjoyed it.

This always starts the Christmas celebrations for me. We watched it yesterday evening whilst having dinner. Very beautiful.

We used to hear a lot of The King’s Singers at one time I remember. It was all a bit strange this year, but lovely nonetheless. I was pleased they sang Bob Chilcott’s
‘Shepherds Carol’. Haunting and beautiful.

Thanks for putting this thread up or I would have missed the concert.

I remember back in the early 70’s seeing the original King’s Singers in concert in Oxford. They then came to our school in Chester and did a lovely concert. Apparently the mother of one of them worked at our school.

It is good to see the group still going strong, albeit with several changes in the line up over the years, but a joy to hear such wonderful voices.

I enjoyed it, lots of lovely carols, and thoughtful readings.

We don’t get much of real quality on TV, but this is always superb. I was very impressed by the King’s Singers. What amazingly good singing. Why do we hear so little good singing?

Christmas would not feel right without this on the radio/TV.
I watch the older videos on YouTube too, more cheery without the distancing and masks and a full congregation and choir.

The Kings Singers were invited with only 48 hours notice because there were cases of COVID 19 amongst the lay clerks (adult choir men) I thought the arrangements were lovely and made best use of their talents.p. Daniel Hyde is an outstanding successor in a long tradition of excellence.

Catching up now. Christmas can begin. .

Not religious at all but always enjoy watching and listening.

Any links for listening live?

Lovely singing but I’m finding it all a bit melancholy. Probably just me.

Beautiful singing!

In the absence of not being able to go to mass this year, the next best thing. So glad to have heard "In the bleak mid winter" my favourite carol.

I love that arrangement of In The Bleak Midwinter. It was quite spooky.

Us too. Wouldn’t be Christmas Eve without it.

Watching now. Just been on a nativity service with DD officiating and DGDs doing two of the readings. Full Christmas immersion!

I'm here too. Love it.

yes, I'm there joining in the carols! I live alone so I can!

Here also.

Yes we are here

Never miss it.

I'm watching this now.

I’m there now!
