My son Harry (9) has passed auditions for The Guild Choir of St Thomas the Apostle (Glen Parva with South Wigston) - more commonly known as St Thomas' Choir. The choir was formed in 1890 and generations of congregations have enjoyed their music ever since. Currently, the Choir has 24 boys and 16 men who go to make up one of the finest church choirs in the country. The Choir often receives invitations to sing all over the country, in venues such as York Minster, Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. That's a photo of the boys (above) dressed to perform on one such occasion. Auditions are held at local primary schools to recruit new members. New boys are usually between 7 to 10 years of age and are called probationers. Harry has been taken on as one of them. I'm so proud of him for this.
