Saw "The Choral" yesterday. Quite enjoyed it and enjoyed the recognisable characters and habits of a choir. Lovely to hear some "Dream of Gerontius", and was reminiscing singing it under Mark Elder (with another choir). I gave myself bonus points for spotting Alice Coote singing over the credits

Allows me to post my fun fact that the most southerly town in the world, Ushuaia, is the same distance to the south pole as Manchester is to the north pole.
if you're struggling with the November gloom, you may enjoy this little graph. To live as far away from the equator as the UK is a decision that most of the world have decided, quite sensibly, not to make. Also note there's barely any land available at the equivalent latitude in the south.

Niche post, but would anyone with a nice venue within a few hours of London (*hello vicars*) be interested in hosting an afternoon concert by Imperial College Chamber Choir on Saturday November 8th? 45 minutes, a cappella sacred music, retiring collection, that sort of thing.
