Hello, in a bit better shape than last year but it’s always a stretch. 100miles for the Pilgrims Hospice on Sunday 3 May. A wonderful charity that has cared for friends and family of every member of this team when they needed it most. This is the route! justgiving.com/page/chiefand…

T`was a fantastic evening and wonderful piece! Bravi tutti!
Honestly that was the most exciting and fulfilling commission I've ever had the privilege of writing - I'll be sending everyone letters of thanks in due course, but in the meantime the most heartfelt thanks to John Mountford (for commissioning it) youtube.com/live/kmlR5FA8GPc… ...

⁦@BBC⁩ ⁦@BBCRadio3⁩ WHEN will this culling of classical music stop? When it’s completely dead?! Why do I pay a licence fee? Yet another branch of work for U.K. singers gone. First the Government and now you… theguardian.com/music/2023/m…

What a great concert! Fantastic job all round. Thanks for having me along!!
Publicity shy @baritus skulking in the shadows @RochesterCathed on the morning of our concert! 😉 His performance (along with @youngsuzie) in Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem was deeply moving and unforgettable. 👏
