Sheffield drops a shedload on its choir
mainThe Dean of Sheffield Cathedral, the Very Reverend Peter Bradley, had this to say on the BBC today about why he sacked the choir.
1 ‘It’s a pause, not an ending.’
2 The choir ‘on occasion sang beautifully, but there was nobody there’.
3 There are ‘other places’ in Sheffield where young people can sing as ‘part of the Anglican tradition of church music’.
4 ‘We tried with great goodwill to look at other ways of recruiting.’
5 Covid’s ‘a good opportunity to rethink, begin again.’
