Asia Tour Blog - Day 8

Catherine Clark (Can Alto 1)

“Welcome to the Great Singaporean S(l)ing Off.

For this week’s Signature dish, Graham and Alice would love you to produce a four-tiered cake. But there’s a twist. It must be done in a swimming pool.”

“I'm going to sing, sing, sing, I'm going to dance, dance, dance, I'm going to sing, I'm going to dance all day long. Doodoo doodoo doodoodoo, doodoo doodoo doodoodoo: I'm going to sing, I'm going to dance all day long.”

Here beginneth the blog at the 3rd hour of the 7th day of the Gospel according to Benedict.

Asia Tour Blog - Day 5

Kit Holliday (Can Bass 1)

Often Leo and I, as Can Basses, have been known to have a somewhat loose concept of deadlines, punctuality, and indeed timing; but our love of the 'danger change' or the 'danger pack' was taken to something of an extreme on the morning of the 6th.

Asia Tour Blog - Day 4

Henny Box (Dec Alto 1) & Sarah Assaf (Dec Alto 3)

Today saw the long-awaited free morning, a relief for the jetlagged/hungover/food-poisoned (delete as appropriate) choir. Leopold 'Casanova' Benedict was certainly grateful for the time off after his trouserless adventures through Kowloon in the early hours, and indulged in an intimate massage with countertenor Joe Payne. Others were keen for a more active morning and trekked up the Peak for panoramic views over the city. After hours of arduous journeying they reached the summit, selfie sticks at the ready, only to be greeted by a wall of fog.

Asia Tour Blog - Day 3

Greg Barber (Can Bass 3) & Matthew Nixon (Dec Bass 1)

Sunday the 4th of September was the first opportunity for most of the choir to sleep in, thus leading to a situation in which a ragtag group of bright eyed and bushy tailed individuals, as well as some who had obviously enjoyed the prior evening a little too much, met in the lobby of the Mariners’ Club, excited to be performing in the first official concert of the tour.

Asia Tour Blog - Day 2

Holly Holt (Can Sop 2) & Stephen Matthews (Dec Bass 4)

Saturday the 3^rd September saw the choir arise at an early hour to catch the morning ferry to Macau. Most of the choir departed at 7.30, albeit not in the best of shapes following the previous night’s partying chez Mao, but for one member of the choir, whose night had only recently ended, knowledge of the choir’s departure was as absent as the bass 2’s ability to sing sotto voce. ‘Illness’ seemed to be the only explanation for Greg Barber’s absence...

Asia Tour Blog – Day 1

Josh Cleary (Dec Tenor 3) & Toby Hession (Dec Bass 2)

On Thursday the First of September, the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, went to Heathrow Airport in order to catch a plane to Hong Kong. Apart from the fact that Choir Administratress Alice Halstead made everyone arrive four hours early (apart from Graham Ross who strolled into the airport 10 minutes before departure), this entire segment was distinctly uneventful. Therefore pains have been made to accurately transcribe a vision that Harry Castle had during the flight, which will soon be found on his upcoming start-up, CamDream...
