The first complete 'Metamorphic Variations' is exquisite! The BBC Philharmonic under Seal delivers Bliss's vision perfectly.
A very nice review indeed - well worth a read. Thank you, John
An important, excellent release of orchestral music by Bliss from @batonflipper @BBCPhilharmonic @ChandosRecords @ArthurBlissSoc My review for @MusicWebInt is at musicwebinternational.com/20…

Congratulations to all 80+ members of @BirmCons Symphony Orchestra for a thrilling concert with @batonflipper tonight! Tower & Copland Fanfares for the Un/Common Wo/Man, Torke’s Mojave played by the fabulous @jordashmanperc & Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances. So much energy!
This will be a superb concert - brilliant orchestra (@SinfoniaBham) with a great soloist and a wonderful local venue. Please repost this @LizClements for our local friends.
FPL PLAYERS - if you are a musician, pro or amateur, current or lapsed, who plays FPL and wants to join a mini-league of other UK musicians, send me a DM. You can join for free or join the paid league for £20 and have the chance to win prizes weekly, monthly and overall.
A brilliant win for @Woodbourne_CC today against Moreton in Marsh - chased down 213 for three wickets with overs to spare. After two wickets last week in my first game, I opened and kept it tight so even at my age, I can still bowl and contribute
