Choirboys was a three part series from BBC Northern Ireland which followed the Schola Cantorum from St Peter's Cathedral during a school year charting their journey from the audition process to the splendour of singing in St Peters Basilica for Pope Benedict XVI. The series began on Monday, October 25 on BBC One Northern Ireland at 10.35pm and followed the fortunes of choirmaster Nigel McClintock over the course of a school year as he attempted to create an internationally renowned choir. Nigel was the first full time choirmaster ever to be employed by the Catholic Church in Ireland.
