A compilation of comments received from the very appreciative audience:

Any standard set at Buckfast last November was definitely matched today at Exeter Cathedral!

Lucian Nethsingha, Exeter Cathedral's former Director of Music, wished to be quoted as saying: "That was some of the best choral singing I've heard in 40 years."

An enormous thank you to all involved for making a truly wonderful sound that any professional choir would be proud of.
