Graham Kirk

Lawyer by day, singer by night. Sometimes the other way around. I like planes, weather, buildings, food, wine, Japan, & polyphony. Life is a song - sing it.

Hi @rickygervais I was one of the singers in the choir you heard rehearsing this afternoon in Cambridge. Really hope you enjoyed the music!

@MuseSeeking No they don’t

Nativity Carol - Rutter’s best, imho #9LC

[Graham Kirk @ghkirk]

Is the Master over the Choristers actually Claire Foy pretending to be the Queen circa 1963? #9LC

@nicomuhly FYI it’s an “Assisting Organist” this year. Which is one small consonant away from something rather different altogether

Spot on

Exactly this.

May I propose this a rule of discourse: the making of solemn parallels between minor, annoying measures, health or otherwise, by well-meaning democratic governments AND the liquidation of the entire Jewish people in Europe by the Nazis aka the Holocaust displays crass insensitivity, bad taste, preposterous self-pity and mountainous, moronic ignorance.
In a time when real history is constantly being distorted and misused, it cheapens it and justifies others to do so.
Please stop doing it

@AliceGribbinSop @QuireMemes I’m guessing you didn’t hear the choir of York Minster in 2001 when he wrote this? 😉

[Graham Kirk @ghkirk]

@colla_voce “Precious Things” by Bernard Hughes (set of three poems each relating to a finite resource we are currently squandering) is bang on point. https://t.co/e1ekCsaRH6

[Graham Kirk @ghkirk]

@QuireMemes @York_Minster Definitely clergy. Although he was once a chorister at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh. (Hello James, if you are reading this!)

[Graham Kirk @ghkirk]

So great to come back for this!

[Ensemble Pro Victoria @EnsembleEPV]

We’re in stunning York Minster today for the @RNLI 200th year Thanksgiving Service! 🚤

RVW - Lord thou hast been our refuge, Parry - My soul, there is a country, and (of course) Sumsion - They that go down to the sea in ships!

Brilliant.

Bad week after I was fired from my job as Head of Marketing at a top London opera company. BUT ... delighted to have been appointed Head of Marketing at the CofE!! Here's my new Guide to Holy Week for Beginners. So important never to patronise people ... 😉

@AnnaCKenyon @AmateyDoku (In relation to my presence there, not yours!)

[Graham Kirk @ghkirk]

@AnnaCKenyon @AmateyDoku lol ok! I agree 100% in that case

Liz Truss scorching her reputation all over again in the Air Fryer of history. She leaps from stupid to fascist with the jolly curiosity of a Wodehouse character. At this rate she may well become the first British Prime Minister to be flash grenaded in an FBI siege.

@kathy1nicholson I just bought a fresh pack of Vocalzones today without realising!
