    As entertaining as it is is true!

    Absolutely brilliant book.

    For those who have sung in Cathedral choirs before, this is full of laugh out loud descriptions of life in a choir and all its weird idiosyncrasies. The accuracy is astonishing and the style of writing is easy as it is compelling - I read this in 2 days (well, 3, if we're counting days in the way of Jesus's resurrection!).

    I recommend this book to anyone who has been in, or is currently, a Cathedral choir.

    This is similarly recommended for anyone intrigued in the life of a Cathedral musician.

    A must read for anyone vaguely connected to ecclesiastical music

    Tim, as ever, nails the narrative and peppers it with self-deprecating humour and genuine love for the work, life and curiosities of choirs. Highly recommended.

    Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed.

    AMAZING

    This has to be the best book I’ve ever read! I haven’t been able to put it down ever since I got it. It’s funny, relatable, and has all the little quirks that only a choir member would know. It’s a great book to read in the sermons too!

    Thanks for taking the time to share such kind words! So glad you enjoyed it. 😊
