Welcome to the Clifton Music Service
The Music Service is based at Clifton Cathedral, Bristol UK. We provide a wide range of music for liturgies at the Cathedral and serve the Clifton Diocese too. We hope you enjoy looking at, and listening to, our work as you explore the site. For our latest news see Facebook and Twitter, linked below.
All of the team write music and have other strings to their bow, so feel free to explore their individual pages.
The Head of the Music Service co-ordinates and directs liturgies, choirs and people, additionally overseeing the Service in terms of liturgy and repertoire.
The Choral Director is principally concerned with the development and running of the Cathedral Choir for Solemn Masses and Cathedral liturgies.
The 9.30am Mass is led by Gill McClorinan, who is ably supported by a small group of experienced singers and musicians.
The Cathedral Organist is principally concerned with the care and playing of the Cathedral Organ, and also runs our Junior Choir.
Music for weddings and funerals
The music team are also on hand to provide music for special liturgies outside of weekly masses. If you are arranging a Wedding or Funeral at the Cathedral you will speak to Richard Jeffrey-Gray who can advise on appropriate music for your occasion. We have music suggestions here. You can contact Richard at music@cliftondiocese.com or via Cathedral House when you speak to a member of staff.
You can download leaflets here with more information about music for weddings and funerals.
