After the first night in the lovely Novotel, followed by a huge spread of possibilities for breakfast, we made it to our first venue, St Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelin. A very generous welcome, and a spacious acoustic greeted us, along with an organ replete with faults and mechanical failings! Mr Palmer did a sterling job negotiating its traps, and the choir sang to an audience of just over 200, including visitors from Malta and Russia!
A long coach journey followed, arriving in our twin-town of Marburg, and our second hearty, hot meal of the day.
Sleep time!
Following on from their highly eventful 2008 tour of North America and Canada - and a few in between: 2009 to Poland, 2010 to Ireland, 2011 to France - the boy choristers of All Saints, Northampton are now undertaking their first ever solo tour. 24 boys: 8 days: 7 concerts: lots of snow. We hope. Follow us and see.

About Us
- All Saints' Choir
- Northampton, NN1 1DF, United Kingdom
- Since 1084 a Choir of Boys & Men has sung in a Church on the site of All Saints; since 1994 a Girls' Choir has also sung at least one of our five weekly choral services. The present Church was completed soon after the Great Fire of Northampton in 1660, with the vast quantity of oak required for the building being donated by King Charles II.
