2nd in What the Dickens! July 20 @SMPCfestival : Scrooge. Not Alistair Sim but better! The resonant bass of Andrew Copeman. His singing last year partly prompted the work. Bah! Humbug is backed by the carolling of @St_Marylebone_ choir. Is the door knocker really Marley’s Ghost?

First up in What the Dickens! @SMPCfestival comes Barnaby Rudge, @tomkellytenor with @roberts_gavin piano. One of Dickens’ most sensitive figures, Barnaby describes himself as ‘silly’. His soulmate the raven, ‘harbinger of death’ is represented by the cor anglais of Clare Hoskins

Summer fun 1c: I know how it ends! Drafted final movt of What the Dickens for @SMPCfestival @roberts_gavin The stunning passage in David Copperfield as the Micawbers set sail for Oz. Amazing author but troubled man - there’s a melancholy that close contact with him inspires
