I’ve heard better youth choir albums than this one, but I’ve heard worse… a lot worse… as well. Recorded at Anlaby Park Methodist Church, Hull, the soloists are OK without being spectacular, the choice of material is pretty wide (Hillsongs “From The Mountains” to Iona Community’s John Bell’s “We Will Lay Our Burdens Down” to Mozart’s “Ave Verum”). The tracks that worked best were acapella traditional choral things like “Praise The Lord – Cheltenham Psalms” though the backing band, called B4U, are excellent with bass player Ben Connor’s song “Responsibilities” an outstanding number deserving of wider exposure.
