Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas — Wells Cathedral Choir



Wells is a lovely, tiny city (said to be England's smallest city) in the south west of that Scepter'd Isle.  If you're ever fortunate enough to visit Blighty, you can do much worse than making a trip there - being near Stonehenge, Bath, and Cheddar (yes, it's an actual place and I have driven through its famous gorge) it's well worth your time.

This recording is one that I quite like as it's from the Cathedral choir.  Since there are only 10,000 or so souls in this smallest city of the Realm, it's a reflection on the amateur talent that a good choir master and a Cathedral can attract.

And Wells trivia that is suddenly au courant: Wells was the home to Harry Patch, the last "Fighting Tommy" (veteran of the trenches in the War to End All Wars).
