thanks for passing it on.

Love this,hope your choir will win the prize.

oh the arrangement sounds great - will there be any way to hear it if it is aired? or if it isn't?

I think I've got it on a record of JR's Christmas music.

And I can't get it out of my mind now either. Thanks for that!

I like the idea of the bellringing. One choir I am in the choirmaster plays the opening chords or a catchy tune as a sort of fanfare to mark the end of the break. But it does take ages for people to settle down again. Drives me mad - what on earth do they find to talk about?

You can listen to Lyric FM over the internet - it's at www.rte.ie. But I don't know if you can listen to it afterwards. Hopefully they'll give us some warning if we're going to be played.

I've tuned in to lyric fm since yesterday.

I haven't heard a carol yet but then I've not listened 24/24.

It's a nice station, though, so thanks for the tip.

We'll be on during the Classic Drive program (4pm - 7pm GMT) on the 10th December.

Oh, thank you. I'll try to tune in then.

I was wrong about that date and time. I misread the website and was looking at last year's page (which didn't have the year listed on it). This year's schedule has not yet been announced.

We'll be on Lyric FM tomorrow (21st) some time between 12 and 2 (GMT). That's 1 and 3 CET.

Oh, thank you. I hope I'll remember it tomorrow.

Well, I forgot, or rather I thought it was today, so listened to the full two hours. Then I checked this thread and was dismayed to have missed it until I found that you can 'listen again' , which I did. Since I couldn't recall the name of this choir (I know the name of the Gaudete Singers), I thought it was your choir doing this truly horrible modern adaptation. By mere chance I listened on and was rewarded near the end of the broadcast with the version of your choir, which I loved.

Glad you liked it!

For all those who missed it and don't want to go through the whole two hours:

Go to http://www.rte.ie/lyricfm/lunch/1190320.html

Click 'Tuesday' in the small box to the right with the loud speaker next to it, then 'fast forward' to 1h 52 minutes.

It takes a while to load this way, but not as long as listening to the full broadcast.

On my laptop I was told I had to download Realplayer to hear it. I thought I had Realplayer on there, but I downloaded anyway. Then I couldn't figure out how to install (it runs on Linux). So I moved over to my husband's computer which runs on Windows and I know what to do there. It told me I needed to download Realplayer there too. Now it's telling me the new Realplay will only run on the new IE8. It's all taking ages.
