From a letter home on 9 August 1974 "This year, as an experiment, it was arranged that our Caian choir of men should join forces with the boys’ choir of the Birmingham Blue Coat School, to give a couple of recitals, one in Gloucester Cathedral, & one in Birmingham Cathedral. This school is not unlike the Dragon School, – being a kind of prep-school where there are both boarders & day-boys, and also both boys & girls, – including a boarding-house for girls. It has no academic tradition to compare with the Dragons, but it is very strong on athletics. Many of its pupils are not local Birmingham boys, just as with the Dragon School, but the recruitment area covers wide and far including Commonwealth countries.

"Well, I was to conduct. This made several trips to Birmingham to take the boys. There were some 50 of them, aged from about 7 to 13. They didn’t sing with undue finesse, but they certainly vociferated. It took me some effort to get them to do musical effects such as ‘ritardando’ and ‘diminuendo’; but I managed. It was quite an experience having to deal with such zing and panache. Their musical director comes of a musical family in Cambridge. He didn’t read music as an undergraduate. He certainly gets them singing, even if it is “ff ” all the time!
