Songs of Praise Filmed at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral
Posted by Stephen
It may not be everyones cup of tea, but there are enough people still interested in the Songs of Praise style to fill Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral.
The BBC TV show, which is hosted by former choir boy Aled Jones and is televised on a Sunday evening, was recorded in the Cathedral earlier this week. Filming lasted for over three hours and the results will be split into two editions of the programme to be shown later this year.
Songs of Praise is watched by over four million viewers each week and is the longest running religious TV show in the world.
Watch out for your nan!

Review - RLPO/Jenkins at Liverpool Cathedral
Posted by Stephen
One of the more unlikely Mersey sounds to emerge from Liverpool in its year as European Capital of Culture is a stream of very earnest, very mystical new choral pieces. John Tavener’s Requiem has already come and gone in a whirl of multi-faith chanting. Paul McCartney’s Ecce Cor Meum, a lament for Linda, arrives in his home city in May. And on Saturday Liverpool’s vast Anglican cathedral was packed - some achievement - for the premiere of Karl Jenkins’s Stabat Mater.
