Very excited for the release of this new book of music for Evensong - all the music is new and commissioned - some very exciting canticles and responses - even the chants aren’t bad! A great companion to the RSCM “Come and Sing” book which has been very successful.

RIP Flott. The great soprano Felicity Lott has died at the age of 79.

Lovely new Oxford bookshop, Barker & Co, opened today in Golden Cross Yard. Highly suitable, since this ancient innyard may well be where Shakespeare staged a very early showing of ‘Hamlet’ at some point before 1603. He’s thought to have played the Ghost himself. Right here….

A bear, however hard he tries,
Grows tubby without exercise.
Our Teddy Bear is short and fat,
Which is not to be wondered at;
He gets what exercise he can
By falling off the ottoman,
But generally seems to lack
The energy to clamber back.

Women’s lives are not subject to anyone's approval but their own.

❌ Stop telling women how to be
✅ Start listening to women

Now imagine you're an apple, a pear, a plum, a strawberry, an orange, a cake, an ice cream, a pickle, cheese, salami, a lollipop, a cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake, a watermelon, or a green leaf.

Not so happy, is it

I'm so very sorry to hear of the death of the actor Ben Keaton. I worked with him on Father Ted, where he was not only brilliant, but improvised a whole 'boring' monologue while shut in a cupboard, and greeted an antimacassar of The Sacred Heart with 'Ah, it's yourself...' 1/2

On Lazarus Sunday, we remember with thanksgiving the late Sid Waddell, who would famously describe a recovery of form in darts' matches as 'the greatest comeback since Lazarus'.

To mark the 470th anniversary of the martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer. Thomas Tallis' setting to the metrical version of Psalm 2. "Why fum'th in sight the gentiles spite". Here sung by Theatre of Voices under the direction of Paul Hillier.
This still gives me goosebumps!
