BROXBOURNE SCHOOL CHOIRS



One of those cases where I've had to name a label after the artist in order to give it some form of identification.  The choirs of Broxbourne School, Hertfordshire, were responsible for a couple of records in the early '70s.  The first was the one that got them onto this site: it was an EP, 'Carols in Waltham Abbey - Christmas 1970', and it had a catalogue number of BSC-1.  In addition to the tracks shown on the scan, which appears by kind permission of Graham7 of the 45cat site, it offered versions of 'The Holly And The Ivy', 'In The Bleak Midwinter' and 'Quem Pastores'.  The second record was another Christmas one, and the tracks for it were again recorded in Waltham Abbey: this time, however, it was an LP, 'Carols 1972' (BROX-2).  Roger Pope appears to have been the driving force behind both releases.
