Francis Grier was, as the kings organ scholar in mid 1970’s,a kind and inspiring teacher .. and carried on here at Christchurch..Although the sound is compressed ,you can discern fabulous dynamics..and full fff’s from ‘men’ ..all boys all so ‘in the zone’

I remember the choir under Francis Grier. The Psalm singing was exquisite. Nice to see Jo Cooke.
