	David Hurley, Countertenor (1990) Beginning his musical career at age eight as a chorister in Winchester Cathedral, David sang alto at Winchester College, then went on to New College, Oxford, as a choral scholar. Following a career as a freelance singer he joined The King's Singers in 1990. As well as being the group's high voice, he is in charge of travel arrangements, at last making use of his degree in geography! He enjoys safaris to Africa and sailing on his time off of touring.

	Robin Tyson, Countertenor (2001) Since January 2001 I have been the new boy of the group, yet not the youngest (just about 30 on joining) and, unusually, bot the tallest! I have been singing my whole life, first as a chorister at the Canterbury Cathedral. After that I was a baritone (loose terminology!) for awhile before I bit the bullet and became a countertenor at the age of 17. But it paid off as I was offered a choral scholarship to King's College Cambridge, the spiritual home of the king'singers! I have studied theology and was the only undergraduate to have a credit system set up in the library to pay fines on my overdue books! It was at King's that I started singing in the college a cappella group, which was a great revelation. Before joining up, I sang all over Europe, America and Asia, first as a choir member of various groups, including my own six-man outfit called the Acappellafellas, then as a soloist in concerts and opera for whoever would have me! When I'm at home in London, there's nothing better than spending time with my wife, Christina, indulging in our passions (cooking and eating), and going through the joys and agonies of supporting a second division football club.

	Paul Phoenix, Tenor (1997) Paul began his musical training at the age of nine as a chorister at St. Paul's cathedral. During his youth he was in high demand and oft recorded as a boy chorister. Since graduating from the Royal Northern College of Music in 1991 he has been studying with Neolle Barker OBE. Before joining The Singers he sang and toured with other British ensembles including London Voices and the Monteverdi Choir with whom he performed in Mozart's "Die Zauberflote" in 1995 and Beethoven's "Leonore" in Europe and the U.S. in 1996. He has also enjoyed working as a session singer taking part recently as a backing vocalist in the revival album of the 1970's group "Sparks" as well as backing Elaine Paige in concert. His assignment on tour is Keeper of the Diary and is the initial contact for creating the venue calendar. When off-tour Paul has been teaching singing to some forty trebles between the ages of nine and thirteen at Wistminster Under School. His interests include cars (he is a ROSPA Advanced Driver) and football (he is a keen supporter of Manchester City). He is married to Helena and has a young son William, who takes up most of his spare time and energy!

	Philip Lawson, Baritone I (1994) The little Saxon church of Worth in Sussex and its boys choir engendered Phil's passionate love of old churches and choral music. He has been a member of the BBC Singers, director of music at a preparatory school, and continues to be associated with the Salisbury Cathedral Choir. He runs a sheet music business, composes church music, and scores for shows. His SSA arrangement of "You Are The New Day" is one of our most requested publications. His music business skills are applied to the group as the bookkeeper and money manager. He lives in Salisbury with his wife, Lizzie and their daughters, Sophie and Amy.

	Chris Gabbitas, Baritone II (2003) Chris first started singing as a boy of 8 at the Cathedral in Rochester, Kent. Having spent a few years away from singing after his voice broke, Chris took up a music scholarship to Uppingham School, with whose choir and orchestra he performed a concert in King's College Chapel, Cambridge (the King's Singers alma mater). In 1997 Chris gained a choral scholarship to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he read law and slept a great deal, as well as playing cricket and soccer and attending regular curry tastings. During his time at Cambridge, Chris sang with and occasionally directed "The Gentlemen of St. John's", a close harmony group comprising the choral scholars of St. John's, and (like Robin) sang with "Collegium Regale" — the modern day King's Singers equivalent at King's College. Since graduating, Chris has attended law school in Oxford (combining this with singing with Christ Church Cathedral Choir) and has worked in the city for two years, becoming a fully qualified Solicitor in 2003. At 24, he is the newest and youngest member of the group, having realized that travelling and singing all around the world is a much more sensible career than sitting in an office sorting out other people's problems. Chris lives in Greenwich in South East London, and enjoys spending his spare time on the golf course being tormented by a small white ball.

	Stephen Connolly, Bass (1987) A boy chorister and, at the age of sixteen, a lay clerk at Leeds Parish Church. On leaving school he accepted a scholarship at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he studied singing with Rudolf Peirnay. This opportunity also brought him his operatic debut in the London Premiere of Nicholas Maw's "The Rising Of the Moon." Steve's tour assignment is lights and sound. So, during the two-hour rehearsal in the concert hall the afternoon of the performance day Steve will be working with the lighting technician, and sound if needed, to give the audience creative sight and sound that night. Steve's off-tour time is joyfully consumed around his self-restored 10-room Victorian House with his wife, Melanie, their young son Harry, and their younger daughter, Molly.
