I was interviewed on BBC Radio York last night regarding the project we’re involved with in March and April. You can listen to the interview here:

I appear just after 2:13:45.
I appeared on the mid morning show with Jonathan Cowap. He was a really nice guy, and a very good interviewer.
We were talking about the York in Harmony community singing project – see details below. The Stonegate Singers will be involved in the final performance, and I’ll be running one of the workshops – the first one on March 15th.
What is York in Harmony?
BBC Radio York is about to unveil a new community project which will give people from the York area the chance to have a go at singing under some expert guidance. York in Harmony offers the chance for people of all ages to learn some new tunes and practice their singing at five free singing sessions. The sessions will be held at venues across the county in March and April.
