These are just the services that I’m involved in. There are others, some of which I’ve promoted in previous posts. Rather than list those on a week by week basis, I suggest you might like to bookmark this excellent site.


Whilst it’s primary focus is on Choral Evensong within the C of E, it does also include Choral Vespers. There’s no reason why fully Choral Evensong services offered by the Ordinariate can’t be included here either provided the details are submitted on time. J

Locally (to me) the regular services are Evensong at York Minster & St Lawrence’s church with Vespers at St Wilfrid’s church and Ampleforth Abbey. The site is fully searchable though, so I’m sure most of you will find something to your taste wherever you are in the UK!

Whilst I’m in ‘choir’ mode, if there are any interested groups of singers who wish to sing ideally the Ordinariate Evensong at St Mary’s (as it would ease my work/life balance considerably!) do get in touch via the comments box. The Parish doesn’t normally have Evensong, but this would also work well if desired, as would Roman Rite Choral Vespers which could also be easily arranged once insurance issues have been sorted out, but I’d want to be sure there were no other services that could be potentially conflicting before doing so. Again, if there’s any interest in doing these, do get in touch!
