We are so excited to be hosting our 11th LiveTwice Carol Concert this Wednesday 4th December at 7.00pm at St Simon Zelotes Church, London SW3.
The evening is hosted by Liz Earle MBE and Rev Mike Neville. We will start the evening with an introduction to this incredible charity by Founder Liz Earle.
Organist on the night is Jeremy Lloyd the Assistant Director of Music at Ely Cathedral, where he
accompanies, conducts and rehearses the Cathedral Choir on a daily basis. He studied

Cathedral with Adrian and has performed live on BBC Radio 3 and 4 along with giving
organ recitals across the country.
Performers
South by Zero Emma Halpin, George Burton, Matthew Bawtree
Matthew George & Emma are three members of the colourful Pop band South by Zero
founded by George & Matthew whilst they were at St Edmund’s School in Canterbury. They will be performing for us.
Widely listened to on Spotify, they all recently graduated from the BIMM Institute in
Manchester and now regularly play gigs, write & record new material. Known as “the
band you can take home to your parents” please checkout their Instagram & Facebook
pages.
Rochester Lay Clerks Isabella Chambers, Hannah Pinney-Thomson,
Richard Pethick, Simon Harris, Raphael Cadenhead, Jonathan Heron will be singing.
Choral singing at Rochester Cathedral soon began after the Cathedral’s foundation in
604 and was reported on in 639 by the Venerable Bede, which gives rise to the notion
that Rochester Cathedral has the oldest choir school in the world. The Lay Clerks are the professional singers, supporting the choristers who make up the mixed top line and all regularly sing 5 services a week.
