PATRICK Dunachie, a choral scholar at King's College, Cambridge, has just graduated with a double first in his music degree.

The 21-year-old was born and grew up in Ludlow, attending St Laurence's Primary School. He began singing in St. Laurence's Church Choir at the age of five.

He then joined Hereford Cathedral Choir at the age of seven and attended Hereford Cathedral School.

His singing has taken him to every continent in the world and he is now undertaking a lot of solo work. He will shortly be joining a choir in Oxford.

He is following in the footsteps of his brother Liam, 26, who studied music at Trinity College, Cambridge, and is now a professional musician.
