Thanks to Naga Munchetty for introducing my piece Cortège for a Coal mine on the 25 for 25 round up - rather nice hearing all the pieces next to each other. You can listen again on BBC Sounds.

Still reeling from that very special performance of Speak of the North at Aldeburgh Festival. Claire Booth, Chris Glynn & Tamsin Waley-Cohen absolutely knocking out of the park. I will not forget this anytime soon. Very happy composer!

A Monstrous Little Suite premieres tonight in Cardiff and it’s sounding glorious! It’s been so long since the opera premiered back in 2019 and it’s delicious to be back in the world of Norse Gods! It’ll be on Radio 3 in Concert if you want to catch it!

It’s so nice to be back with BBC National Orchestra of Wales after all this time (nearly a year!) with Ryan Bancroft at the helm for the premiere of my A Monstrous Little Suite. Hope to see you there on Friday (Cardiff) or Saturday (Swansea) - it’s sounding very classy!

Every day we go to the park Arty and this crow play together. The crow swoops down and chases arty, then arty chases the crow. It’s very cute - I feel a Disney film in the making!
