The Midlands Early Music Forum (MEMF) committee asked the Lachrimae Consort to record a Christmas/Thank-you message to everyone who had contributed to the Zoom events throughout the year. An existing recording of Joyne Hands was utilised, and Jonathan Spencer (counter tenor) with Mike Ashley (lute) remotely recorded the Coventry Carol - all cleverly edited by MEMF′s Paul Baker.
