ANGUS CHAMPION
Tenor
Angus is a tenor originally from Yorkshire. He discovered his love for singing in his Year 2 Nativity play, joining the choir of Beverley Minster soon afterward and staying for 11 years as a chorister and songman. Angus read music at the University of York, singing regularly, picking up his French horn only if absolutely necessary and volunteering with the student Music Education outreach group.
