Brinsley's CV:

Early career

Brinsley began his musical career in Hereford Cathedral, where he sang as a chorister for three years, from 2015-2017. During that time, he sang Bach's Passions and Oratorio each year amongs many other large musical works. During his time with Hereford Cathedral Choir, he performed in Buckingham Palace, on BBC Radio 3, and spent a week on tour around America.
At Hereford Cathedral, he sang 21 hours each week, and performed music in services 6 days a week. Although the workload tiring at such a young age, Brinsley felt incredibly rewarded and his love for music quickly developed as his vocal skills did too.
