James Lancelot

Catching up on TV Proms. The Martin Brabbins was a delight. The space and Johnnie Greenwood all seemed very samey! Liz in Liverpool for national servers Mass on Saturday. The art group thanked Julie. I saw my pictures in the library. A delightful recital by James Lancelot at St John's. I must play the Harris and Whitlock again. Also included Bach, Rheinberger, Karg-Elert, Elgar, Alain and Widor. Good audience including Andrew Scott, Carl Jackson and Christopher Herrick. Returned scores to Central music library and went to Tate Britain to see Blake but there were far too many people there so I may return in January! A lovely party at Roger Brice's lovely new home for RSCM commitee members to honour Peter Wright for 30 years of briliiant leadership Astonishing that RSCM HQ did not consider it right to mark 30 years of voluntary service! Open day but could not park to visit Heavers farm school - should have walked from home! To the drome for mass for John Braburne's cause 40 years after his martyrdom in Zimbabwe. The exhibition is interesting. Served with Tim and Ciaran and Chris from Leicester. Zimbabwean choir and drums. Schubert in G. Finished too late to get to open houses.  6 servers at Mass. We sang Rutter A Clare benediction. I played Slater on St Botolph, Harris Prelude in E flat composed in St Thomas Leipzig 1931 and Pomp and Circumstance No. 4. Visited Brick by brick offices in Croydon and Fulham Palace chapel decorated in 1953. Sean's birthday and lots of lego! Nice cake.
