Hearing

 Tuesday Blackfriars and SMITF, Delightful LMP zoom with double bass and Hilary Davon Whettan who studied with Boult. Lionel Friend and Owain were in his class, He said Giulini used to go to his island for 2 months to study each work. Long country walks were the best advice to conductors by Boult so that it became instinctive. To Guys for hearing test. Decided new ones would be sent. Parked eventually and machine would not give out a ticket so did it on phone which was just as well as I had to get an extension! Jonathan Chaddock playing at King's Lynn. Rowan Williams on the resurrection. Daniel Hyde on King's. George at Holy Trinity Wentworth. The Silo and La Residence Cape Town - amazing.
