The Pennine Singers at Gloucester Cathedral

Over the weekend of the 30^th to 31^st October 2021, The Pennine Singers visited Gloucester Cathedral, providing the choral element for Evensong on the Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Eucharist on Sunday morning.

It was a wonderful weekend; Gloucester was very welcoming – and appreciative of our singing!

The choir was directed by Liz Brocklehurst and Richard Brocklehurst was our accompanist.

A video recording of the Sunday Eucharist can be viewed on YouTube.
