Got to say how wonderful it was to see 'All About and To A Female Artist' by the late Stuart Stevens revived @BirmCons with @thisisthumb
The audience response was incredible, what a moving evening.
Thank you to everyone involved!

Introducing our Conductor, Dan Watson, traditionally he doesn't chew on his baton, this was a moment of great thought mid rehearsal. https://t.co/WUbgQhQ1IJ
