Mass
Sunday served at Mass at conference centre. Mark Davies Bishop of Shrewsbury friendly and brought good cathedral choir and organist. More reassurances from highups. Drove to Birmingham M54 closed eventually got to M6 despite the satnav. Ibis Budget OK and walked to Symphony hall. Pavements closed ended up on road. Excellent final and all 3 played brlliantly but so different Cello, sax, piano and pianist won. Lauren Zwang she is local and lots of Chinese, students and kids. 4 to 7. Shaku playing Elgar was very special. Got a roll and drink and watched most of it on BBC4
