You Can't Keep a Good Tune Down features 23 new all-too believable stories about the eccentricities of the world of the local church choir, written with the author's characteristic affection and wit.

Warbling sopranos, bellowing basses, someone in the back row at least a line ahead of everyone else, fusty robes, intransigent organists and temperamental clergy - welcome to the world of the local church choir. There is no better observer of the volatile relations between the clergy, the choir, the organist and the congregation than Reg Frary who has seen it all in over seventy years' first hand experience of sitting in the choir stalls Sunday by Sunday and at weddings, funerals, carol services, festivals and other occasions.

Ideal as ‘stocking fillers’ these books have been published before Christmas year after year and have raised many a wry smile, You Can’t Keep a Good Tune Down follows the usual pattern of stories about the different choirs he encountered as he travelled among his friends and sang with them in their various churches.
