Meanwhile, editor Martin Cullingford visited Wells Cathedral School to talk to, among others, organist and master of the choristers Matthew Owens, cellist Jamie Walton and the schools Head Elizabth Cairncross about the school's musical life, and to find out more about plans for a new performance and rehearsal facility, Cedars Hall.
