Hallelujah chorus
2012
[Stuart Nicholson], a British organist who has held similar posts at Edinburgh and Birmingham cathedrals, was appointed master of choristers in 2010. He is proud of the choir, which he is acknowledged as having revitalised. \"They are very young and came along just as the previous choir had left. By then those boys had a heavier, gritty sound. They were obviously older, on the verge of secondary school. This choir is younger, and the sound is pure, lighter, but also gutsy. They have developed very well and very quickly . . . They're used to filling the vast space of the cathedral. Although the acoustic is very kind,\" he says with a laugh, pausing for effect, \"it's still a very big church.\" When, in 1749, the 16-year-old Joseph Haydn wrote his Missa Brevis in F for two soprano soloists, choir and orchestra, the composer and his younger brother Michael are believed to have performed the solo parts. In the 1980s, when the outstanding treble Welsh Aled Jones emerged, most choirboys were still singing treble until the age of 14 or 15. Jones's voice did not break until he was 16. \"I was still singing treble until I was almost 16,\" says Nicholson. \"Some of my friends lasted a bit longer.\" Even the Vienna Boys' Choir, founded in 1498, 66 years after St Patrick's Choir School, is now openly looking for singers; previously, hopeful choristers would apply to join. It recently recruited two boys from Ite O'Donovan's Piccolo Lasso children's choir. O'Donovan shares Nicholson's concerns. \"By the time a talented boy has learned to use his voice and is musically accomplished,\" she says, \"the voice is gone.\"

Stu makes an instant impact
2009
STRIKER Stuart Nicholson enjoyed the dream start to his Tamworth career with a goal to seal a 2-0 victory against King's Lynn last night. Jake Sheridan's shot thudded against the Linnetts' cross bar and Nicholson was on hand to tuck home. The depleted Moors lost Blues loanee James O'Brien with a pelvic injury early on and then Liam Daly was red-carded for a bad foul.

Lambs give Stu another chance
2009
[Stuart Nicholson], a former England Under-19 international, is expected to make his Lambs debut tonight when they entertain King's Lynn at The Lamb after linking up with Gary Mills' men last week. The Lambs are still without hot prospect Nick Wright (hamstring) and Dean Lea (ankle) for the next few weeks, while midfielder Chris Nurse and Stef Morrison will face fitness tests ahead of tonight's game. \"Gateshead had the cutting edge - that was the difference,\" he said. \"You have to take your chances.\"

Football: Leaving gift
2008
\"I am more used to a 4-4-2 formation and playing as a striker, but at Wrexham I've been back doing my share of defending in my own half and that's somewhere on the pitch I'mnot used to seeing awhole lot of.\" [STUART NICHOLSON] added: \"I am disappointed to be leavingWest Brom, I've been there from the age of 17 and made my debut at 18. I've been in and out of the squad and scoring goals for the reserves. \"But it happens and you have to move on.\" And on the possibility of scoring the winner at Shrewsbury on Sunday, Nicholson added: \"I don't think I would be able to describe the feeling if I got the winner.

From there it's an easy segue into Jazzland Community - Live , wherein pianist Bugge Wesseltoft continues the noir-ish mood. Recorded at Hamburg's Fabrik Club last year, the set moves up a gear with guitarist Eivind Aarset's dancefloor grooves on 'Electromagnetic' and 'Connectic', while Hakon Kornstad's sax is set against a backdrop provided by his laptop and Sidsel Endresen's vocals weave words and sounds around deft electronic counterpoint provided by Wesseltoft and Aarset.

Nicholson boost for Lambs
2009
\"For [Stuart Nicholson] to score on his debut was superb - it's just the start you want if you're at a new club,\" said assistant manager Darron Gee. \"He came on in the last few minutes and he showed he is a quality player. \"We have been creating lots of chances but not been taking them. The front three have been superb but sometimes you need that different kind of threat,\" said Gee. \"You need competition all round the squad.\"
