Voces8 Playing Trains

A couple of years ago I blogged about Voces Cantabiles a choir run by the two sons of a couple who attend St James who played a couple of concerts for the Church, the second of which ended up being by candlelight thanks to a power cut. The choir has gone from strength to strength winning a number of prizes around the world. They also have a smaller ensemble known as Voces8 consisting of just eight singers who have won awards in their own right. Digging around on YouTube I found that they now have their own channel where they are steadily uploading examples of their performances, and showing their range. Everything from this performance of The Lamb by John Taverner – something that I know from experience is fiendishly difficult. At the other end of the spectrum you have their latest video – “I’m a Trainâ€?.

A Little Bit of Entertainment

A few things to keep you entertained…

First off, Jen has discovered that the John Lewis website apparently tracks the most popular searches, and is undertaking an experiment to see whether it does. All you need to do is head over to the John Lewis website and search for ‘squirrel’ or ‘squirrels’, and then keep an eye on the list…

After you’ve done that, a couple of amusing videos. Firstly an adaption of the EDS Herding Cats commercial originally shown during the 2000 Superbowl. Here it’s been adapted to compare it with youth work. Thanks to Ian for finding this one.

Secondly, if you’ve got anything to do with health and safety in Church, don’t watch this one – especially not the acolytes with their lit candles… This is for anyone who thinks that it is important that the gospel procession is carried out with dacorum and in a reverent fashion… Thanks to Raspberry Rabbit for this one.
