Peter Clark Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 I just found this on YouTube I think this is a remarkabley good song and wonderful brass band and choir arrangement. Did he do his own orchestrations? Peter ps I am biased of course being a brass band fan - I am hoping to get the Arthur Wills piece for organ and band soon.

Peter Clark Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Maybe stretching it a bit, but both Robbie Williams and Gareth Gates were choirboys. And they are FAAAR from the only ones In his recent autobiography (or biography - can't remember which) Keith Richards of the Stones refers to his days as a "Westminster choirboy" though whether Abbey, Cathedral or School or none of these I don't know.
