Lemn Sissay released his first book of poetry in 1988 at the age of 21, and since the age of 24 he has been a full-time writer, performing internationally. He recently presented Origin Stories on BBC Radio 4.
In addition to many of the old favourite carols the programme will include The Time of Snow by Bob Chilcott, John Rutter's Jesus Child and Enrico Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe.
Saturday Singing Club is a fun, relaxed club for primary school children aged 6 and above and performs at services in the Cathedral throughout the year including Mothering Sunday, Harvest and at the Christmas Eve Crib Service.
