Blogs by people I know

Organathon!
Today my church is running an ambitious sponsored event: our organist Keith Pigot has come up with 12 hours of repertoire and is playing from 7am-7pm in aid of the repair and restoration of our organ. I went over to … Continue reading →
music in the Eye
When we get Private Eye every fortnight, one of the first pieces I read is the Music and Musicians column. It isn’t that easy to find as it wanders around the magazine, usually in the front matter, next to Ad … Continue reading →
2017 in review
2017 was a much quieter year musically than 2016, though not uneventful. The most notable single event was that I fulfilled my ambition to sing in a Promenade concert. A rather unusual programme, but it was well received. I am … Continue reading →
another calendrical plea
I made this request at the end of 2005 and here it comes again. Every year I buy a calendar with photographs of British Cathedrals. The format has varied – perhaps they haven’t all been produced by the same publisher … Continue reading →
what has this blog achieved & a shocking admission about Bath
It’s now a significant anniversary of when I moved to Bath, and I’m looking back on how this blog (which I’ve kept for most of that time) has fitted in. Has it achieved what I hoped for, apart from the … Continue reading →

rejecting the proof reader
Last year I was approached by a proof reader offering me their services (assisted by a special app which speeded up the process). As a sample of what they and their app could do, they pointed out a couple of … Continue reading →
You know you’ve just sung the Sea Symphony when…
… you cannot see the ‘Following’ button on Twitter without hearing the end of the Scherzo.
Windows for Finzi
A set of 8 stained-glass windows by Tom Denny commemorating Gerald Finzi will be installed in Gloucester Cathedral next June. I was given a flyer at choir practice, but I think this has not been widely publicised and deserves to … Continue reading →
remembering at All Souls’ tide
It’s the season of All Souls (I sang Fauré’s Requiem at a service), and sadly my thoughts turn to several people whom I got to know through music who have died in the last year. I suppose this will happen … Continue reading →
