1965
Procession in south Quire aisle
This was taken in September 1965 as the Friends of the Cathedral’s Christmas card of that year.
Jon Hodge left after Christmas and David Acres became head chorister. Bob Lane’s voice broke so Chris Rogers became “Centre” on Dec and deputy head chorister.
The invisible boys should contain Edwards and Rendell plus two others (names anyone?).
Mr Dinneen left the choir in the summer of 1965 when he took up a full time teaching post at Dartington College of Arts. He was Dec bass and a professional singing teacher. He died in 1994 (information from Irene Dinneeen, his daughter, October 2014).
Christopher A. Hall (treble, 1961?-65, at the front right) sadly died just after Christmas in December 2017, aged 65. He had suffered from a brain tumour and then had a stroke. (information from Robert Lane)
