We should never underestimate the importance of female role models in sport and creating opportunities for young athletes to get close to them. Emma Raducanu’s dad is Romanian and here she is with Simona Halep. 💕 @EmmaRaducanu @Simona_Halep

@liturgicalben I've been saying this for ages! Glad it's not just me...

Regardless of #projecthope, the reality is that some Covid measures will need to remain in place through next Winter (at least) to demonstrate the full effectiveness of the vaccine. Anyone thinking this is all over on June 21 is going to be in for quite a shock #covid #reality

This is a great opportunity for children in years 2-5! #chorister #becomeachorister

@TheEvensongCup This might be an unpopular opinion but the other semi final should have been the final...

Semi Final 2 Parsons - Ave Maria youtu.be/v3pDIz9RLfg?t=… v Brahms - Geistliches Lied youtu.be/SO0y_x68Emc?t=…

Welcome to the Semi-Finals of the World Cup of Amens Here's a thread of the semi-finals, 3rd-place playoff, and the final.

@dmsreg @TheEvensongCup I was thinking exactly that. Surely this is a no-brainer but Dyson is currently losing! I'm shocked!

@TheEvensongCup I don't understand. Has someone banned all the sopranos from voting or something? How is this not an easy one? Dyson should be cleaning up, so to speak.

Welcome to the World Cup of Amens, Round of 16. Here's a thread of all 8 matches. Two per day, lasting 24 hours each.

@TheEvensongCup Is it acceptable to use the work account for these purposes? (Asking for a friend...)

Hello to everyone who has dug out their alt account password so that they can vote twice in this competition

@TheEvensongCup Oh no I'm having to vote against the Parry which I absolutely love but the Finzi Amen is just better.

Round 1, Game 1 Finzi - Lo, the Full Final Sacrifice youtube.com/watch?v=BY30F6… v Parry - Hear My Words youtube.com/watch?t=795&v=…

@TheEvensongCup Amens sound fun but we should probably just give Handel the crown now because nothing is topping Worthy is the Lamb/Messiah...

I think it might be time for a mini-tournament in January. World Cup of Amens? Agnus Deis? Baritone solos? Suggestions please.

@Saltey It really is! I couldn't get into series 3 but this one is great.

@becca_dev1 Yh its so tragic. This series is really good.

Aww I just want to protect baby Diana on #TheCrown

The only friends we're allowed in our house at the moment

@KatieJaneOnline Enjoy it! I absolutely loved being pregnant 💕

@TheEvensongCup 50:50 with 4 minutes to go 😱😱😱

Final Harris - Faire is the heaven youtube.com/watch?v=yDjrmd… v Bainton - And I saw a new heaven youtube.com/watch?v=Lyy7RW…

Welcome to the final stages of the World Cup of Evensong Anthems. This is a thread of the last four matches in the competition (semi finals, third-place match, and the final).

@TheEvensongCup This is where we need a few of the highest scoring losers to be added into the next round (like in University Challenge!) Both of these pieces are too good to go at this stage!

Round of 16, Game 3 Purcell - Hear my prayer youtube.com/watch?v=oKijWF… v Parry - I was glad youtube.com/watch?v=YeQYps…

Welcome to the Evensong World Cup Round of 16. Here's a thread of all 8 matches as they happen (one-per-day).

@TheEvensongCup Absolutely shocking! Blest pair of sirens is a cracking piece!

Howells' Like as the hart is through to the Quarter Finals. Blest Pair exits earlier than expected - a favourite of many and had been tipped to make the final...

@TheEvensongCup This was a tough choice and at the moment both have 50%! I'll be sad to see whichever loses go out of the competition because both are great.

Round 1, Game 26 Duruflé - Ubi caritas youtube.com/watch?v=DjhAn5… v Finzi - God is gone up youtube.com/watch?v=WI4YQJ…

Here's a thread of the Round 1 votes:

@TheEvensongCup I've never heard the Daley until today but it's a really lovely piece. Well worth a listen!

Round 1, Game 6 Britten - Hymn to St Cecilia youtube.com/watch?v=bOMPCk… v Eleanor Daley - Upon your heart lfccm.com/media/recordin…

@TheEvensongCup This might be the second time in the competition so far that I vote against a wedding piece... 😬

Qualifying Round Victorian & 20th-C Men Group H (top two progress) Wood - O Thou the central orb youtube.com/watch?v=aK2zp-… Finzi - Lo the full final sacrifice youtube.com/watch?v=e_tCGn… Willan - Rise up my love youtube.com/watch?v=KVws1U… Parry - I was glad youtube.com/watch?v=YeQYps…

@TheEvensongCup This is the easiest choice yet. Parry all the way!
