I probably don't have many local contacts on here, but anyway... this is the concert I'm giving in aid of the Milton Keynes Cancer Centre on 4th October at Stantonbury Theatre with the fabulous Charlie Lovell-Jones. The Filgrastim Philharmonia is named after a chemo drug. Details in the alt text.

Just bought a book: Unfortunately, she was a nymphomaniac by Joan Smith.
I heard her talking about it on BBC R4 Women's Hour: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... & then went to my local bookshop and ordered it.
