[…] people in Blindingham? Shouldn’t it be someone who writes music that people actually like – for example, Andrea Lloyds-Banke? Everyone loves her musical ‘Jesus Christ, Is That The Time Already?’, and there’s that other wonderful female composer Karol Jenkins? Classic FM play her pieces all the time, especially her album ‘Adienuffyet’. As the conversation became more heated, Mr Dawson entered and told me that if I wanted to know more, I should ask your son Jeck, as he has played many of Judy Weird’s pieces on the trombone. It turns out that Mr Dawson knows more about the trombone than I could have imagined. I thought there were only 7 positions, but he said that he’d seen Jeck demonstrating more than that, and his 69 was particularly expert. I said that if he could reach 69 positions, he must have a remarkably big trombone that would need a lot of […]

Dear Rogers How interesting – I had no idea I had a pastry-maid called Daisy. If her chocolate éclairs are anything to go by, she is a budding genius. How one lives and learns. I am delighted to be able to have the chance to explain to you the role and indeed the person of the conductor. My previously long-lost son Jeck is currently moving on from his work as a trombonist in order to study conducting. Having mastered all seven positions of the slide, he realised that being a conductor requires many more positions and indeed techniques to which he is keen to turn his hand. Let me draw a comparison between the orchestra and my own dear Blindingham Hall. Lord Effingham (though absent) is the head of the household – the equivalent, perhaps, of the composer of the music. However, Mr Dawson is the head of the servant’s hall […]

Barry Memorial HallThe Vale of Glamorgan's artistic director John Metcalf has never been afraid of change. After two decades of festivals, he decided to programme only the work of living composers; two decades further on, he's now opted for a major calendar shift, bringing events forward four months to spring.The festival was launched with a concert by the Gavin Bryars Ensemble, featuring Bryars' piece The Sinking of the Titanic. Though he recently revisited it with turntablist Philip Jeck for the Titanic centenary, the work was played here in its original 1972 performing version for instruments and tape, by turn poignant and lugubrious. More affecting was the sequence of six of the Laude that Bryars has based on a manuscript collection from 13th-century Cortona and set primarily for soprano and tenor with a quartet of instruments. Viola, cello and double bass – the composer himself the ever-dignified presiding figure on bass – […]
