Head Chorister Emeritus, "Hoot" is the choir mascot. Very many years ago, a previous Organist, Mr Jack Keyes, used to comment that, on occasions, boy choristers, especially those from cathedrals, tended to hoot whilst singing. This gave us the inspiration for the mascot. As you can see he has his own cassock and winged surplice!! |
