Bath Abbey Choir sing together for first time since March for Remembrance concert

  • Bath Abbey Choir Boys and Lay-Clerks singing 'God be in my head’ by John Rutter.

The full Bath Abbey Choir has pre-recorded a remembrance concert, singing together for the first time since March.

It is the first time the boys, girls and lay-clerks have performed together since the original lockdown restrictions were brought in eight months ago.

The concert will be free to watch online on Friday 6 November at 7.30pm.

The concert is one of the ways people from across Bath and North East Somerset are being encouraged to mark Remembrance Day and Armistice Day at home this year.

Remembrance events have been scaled back due to the restrictions but some small events will still take place with invitees only.

On Remembrance Sunday, the Royal British Legion is filming a wreath laying ceremony at the Bath War Memorial in Victoria Park and a service limited to 60 ticket holders will be held at Bath Abbey.
