“I first worked with Matthew Sheeran when he wrote the arrangement of “In the Bleak MidWinter” for the 150th Anniversary Of Framlingham College School where we both have close connections. Matthew wrote it originally for choir and wrote the last verse for Coloratura soprano (with myself in mind). I then sang it with the choir for their Carol Service to celebrate 150 years of the boarding school which Prince Albert opened. The Sheeran family have always been fondly thought of by everyone in Framlingham. Matthew’s Mum was in the choir with my auntie and since I have done a few concerts in Framlingham, Matthews parents have been so supportive. They are such a delightful family and so talented.”
I believe this piece is very special and I think once people hear it they will love the haunting and mysterious feeling it gives. It brings a depth to the song which the original version doesn’t. Matthew, Ed and I grew up in the same tiny town but we never knew of each other until now although our parents knew of one another. It is quite special to work with someone who grew up in the same place as you and knows the same people!
