In the Bleak Midwinter now - quite a different version to what I'm used to.

This is the old version always sung when I was a child (it's by Darke)
I prefer it to the Holst version.

Never heard them sing in Welsh before

How young and talented is that organist!

Incredible aren't they. I can't believe how they can be such intuitive *accompanists*, which is totally different skill to performance.

Which was in Welsh, I could not see anything in the order of service (it's online) but only skimmed through the pages. I did not see it earlier because the local transmitter was off so will see it tomorrow. I record some programmes for a Welsh friend in the US so I will be sure include that if there is something in Welsh.

Suo Gān - it's a Welsh lullaby.

Looking it up on Youtube I noticed they have done it before:

Why aren't the readers captioned on screen anymore?

The girl who looked like Harry Potter was kinda cute.

Mum and I were arguing over whether she was male or female!

The reading from Luke about how Mary became with child sounded creepy given current day reports of abuse though.
