Timothy E Popple

Timothy E. Popple is an Alto Lay Clerk at Bristol Cathedral and is the founder of Quires and Places.

Tim has previously sung alto with The Fitzhardinge Consort, St Woolos Cathedral Choir, Newport, and Carlisle Cathedral Choir. His love of choral music began at the age of eight as a chorister at Durham Cathedral.

When he’s not working, making memes, designing niche clothes, singing Evensong, or socialising afterwards, he explores the local food and drink scene with his wife, watches films with his two grown up children, and is slowly but surely introducing his young stepson to Star Trek.

Quires and Places launched in 2020. It sells choral merchandise and shares niche choral humour. Since 2024 Quires and Places has published music and—with this book—non-fiction.
