I caught the end of Sting-sings-Dowland live, on Radio 3 when I was out in the car earlier. I read some sneering reviews, but I have to say I liked it, and I'd rather hear Sting sing Dowland than Ian Bostridge or the like. The chorus were a bit duff though, they sounded like 1960s American early music.  

My harmonium flight case arrived made at right angles to my specification. So much for that idea. Still, I got some arrangements done, scanned and sent on Thursday, and Suzie has kept up a constant stream of PDFs, mp3s, song texts, running orders and the like to all of our email addresses.  On Friday morning I had time for a welcome cup of tea with Catherine Bott when she was in town to work with Craig Armstrong. Plenty of gossip was exchanged, none of which will appear here.
