To St Stephen Wallbrook for Michael Nicholas's recital. He tells me Ben is married and he remembered my singing with Michael Fleming. What a pleasure to see Helen Murphy there! Watched Songs of Praise featuring HM the Queen and Simon Lole. Opposite St Stephen Wallbrook is the London Mithraeum which is free. Not a lot to see but very well presented. To Royal Festival Hall for London Philharmonic orchestra and James O'Donnell playing Bach, Saint-Saens 3, Faure Pavane and Jongen Sinfonia concertante- paricularly liked the third movement. Full too. Saw Adrian, Terence and Martin and Prommers. Conducted well by Dirk Brossé. The acoustic is so dry - the Albert Hall far better.
