Each year, the choir, dressed in striped jackets and straw boaters and seated in punts, entertain their audience from the river with a selection of delightful unaccompanied songs. They finish the programme by gliding slowly out of sight and the final bars of the last tune linger for a few minutes more as the evening light fades. Unforgettable.
