If you want to be added to this list or removed from it, please contact Toby immediately. For security reasons, the full list of singers must be confirmed in advance. You can’t take part in the service if you are not on the list.

Tenors: Daniel, Edgar, JJ*, Marc, Richard, Tim

Note that the choir will be augmented by singers from other groups. There will be about 40 singers in total.

This is not a public event, and space in the cathedral is limited. Names of attendees have been passed to the security services in advance. It is no longer possible to add people to this list, so this unfortunately means that you can’t bring a friend or family member to the service unless you have already requested this. (Singers marked with a * on the list above have already requested an extra ticket.)
