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!

@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…

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. 👏
