Tour staff

Behind the scenes, Mr McLaughlan, Mr O'Brien and Matron have been working very hard looking after the choristers and ensuring they're on top form for each concert.

In between rehearsals and concerts they've been keeping the boys calm and quiet, helping them to conserve energy for the performances. In Philly they found this amazing video wall in the Comcast Tower which kept the boys fascinated for 45 minutes before the concert.


And in Cincinnati the boys were taken to watch the staff in a Karaoke competition:

  3. The "Matron" is Anne Conway and worked particularly hard on this tour. I believe she should be acknowledged with her name the same as the "men"!

  4. I've referred to the staff using the terms of address used by the choristers themselves as those terms are also most likely used by their parents. There's no doubt that Matron worked hard though!
