´óÏó´«Ã½

Yesterday on Sunday Sequence, I was joined by from St Peter's Cathedral in west Belfast, to hear more about the new ´óÏó´«Ã½ TV series Choirboys, which begins tonight at 10.35pm on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One NI. We talked about why Irish Catholic churches have struggled historically with the place of singing in the liturgy. Yes, we have with a much-publicised record deal, but most Sundays in most parishes you won't hear anything close to that sound. So ... in the first episode of Choirboys, has his work cut out for him. Nigel is a brilliant musician and an equally brilliant music director, but his task is to create a successful choir for a cathedral practically out of nothing. That makes him the of St Peter's Cathedral. Choirboys promises to be a big hit with the public: we love this kind of musical rags to riches story, probably because it allows us to imagine ourselves making the kind of journey Nigel and his choir are making. But there's jeopardy here too, because success is never guaranteed. If you're out tonight, set the VCR.
