Much food for thought tonight and a great privilege to attend #Reith no.2. Loved some of the connections being made between music, theatre and spiritual life - essential to our individual and collective journeys…. https://t.co/dubGfA5e9t

The service in @LlandaffCath has just finished - very moving and with sun streaming through the doors and windows bringing optimism for the future. Particularly lovely to have many parts yn Gymraeg, and a beautiful anthem by @PaulMealor with words by Grahame Davies

An overwhelming of talent at the Romulus Linney courts yard theatre tonight, NYC. Had a true privilege in watching this incredible emerging talent from @RWCMD stamp their feet firmly announcing their arrival. Magnificent Showcase….

Brilliant to join this afternoon’s performance with @benedetti_fdtn sessions in @HowellsSchool with @NickyBenedetti @AlexLaing and so many others. Fabulous, energetic playing - an inspiration, thank you. Our new King would be proud and uplifted, I’m pretty sure…
