Having attended all the above mentioned concerts apart for the concerts wear I was able to get front or first few rows, the view has been poor to say the least as you only need a tall person in front to remove 6\70% of the view anyway. We have to accept that to always be the case we are in a building that was not designed to allow good views but more to keep us on our knees for half the visit the rest looking at the pulpit while being lectured on our sinful ways.
The only concert I remember having good uninterrupted views was in a concert hall a place designed to view and enjoy the performance on the stage. The sound I feel was as not as well suited to the boys voices as a large church or cathedral, but like all things in life a compromise and while you can get the odd moment from the boys my mind seems to drift away from the view to the sound and it just becomes a blur of faces and white robes for the most part.
If I had a favourite venue it would be Ely followed by Westminster.
