The choir year ended in style once again at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral with the annual barbecue for families and friends. The services that day (Sunday 23rd June) had included Sumsion’s They that go down to the sea in ships sung by the boys at the morning Choral Eucharist, and Evening included the canticles by Howells in G and the anthem Te lucis ante terminum by Humphrey Clucas, sung by the girl choristers. 

This year’s barbecue included a bouncy castle for the first time, and both adults and youngsters alike attempted to stay upright. The cathedral’s Director of Music, Peter Stobart thanked the choristers, the Lay Vicars Choral and all of the parents for their hard work throughout the year.
