Meanwhile, A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols has been performed every Christmas Eve by the Choir of King’s College since 1918. However, for the first time in 90 years it will not be performed live, instead being pre-recorded. The service consists of a collection of older and newer hymns interspersed with readings from the Bible, and is broadcast on BBC radio. This year it is also expected to be broadcast by around 450 radio stations in America.
