New book - cover and back with quotations! Out soon ... ⬇️

Born by the Thames: A Centenary Celebration of composer Stephen Dodgson (eds Oliver Chandler and Thomas Hyde) is a wonderful book. It also has multiple indexes by me (general index, alphabetical works, works by type), all expertly typeset by Typo•glyphix.

Suitable for #StDavidsDay - Mathias: Celtic Dances.

Wonderful to hear Stephen Dodgson's Magnificat last night in his centenary year. Oliver Chandler & I have edited a new book about the composer. Out later this month! Here we are with Leonora Dawson-Bowling & the composer's widow, Jane Clark. StephenDodgsonTrust Barnes Music Festival

It is with great sadness that we - the Whitbourn family - share the news of the death of our beloved husband, father, son and brother, James Whitbourn.

Stephen Dodgson is shown Gustav Holst's lavatory by John - 'Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day' - Gardner. p.26 of my new book out this month. Potentially award-winning research here.

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 ... 😉

Sir Andrew Davis (2 February 1944 - 20 April 2024) RIP. An absolute giant & important supporter of so much British contemporary music. His period at the BBC Symphony Orchestra was full of good things.

Congratulations to my librettist!

I don't post anymore. I see nothing here I want to see. Nobody sees what I post. And happiness comes because I NEVER scroll down. But I stay on this platform because my career might explode into success at any moment & if it does, I'll need to post a pic of my bum on holiday.
