It has two aims – first to contain some material which people have asked for in the past. This side of things is still in development. Pieces can be downloaded in exchange for a donation to the Orpheus Centre Trust. ( Poems can already be downloaded, sheet music will follow shortly.)

Youth Music Voices are singing everywhere during the Jubilee weekend and the Olympics. Joe Stilgoe’s new album is launched on June 12th. The Orpheus students are appearing at the Lady Taverners’ garden party at Westminster Abbey on July 11th. I’m starting work with composer Orlando Gough on Roadkill, a community opera for next year’s Garsington festival.
