Gongs of various kinds for Robin Ticciati, Elvis Costello, and Feargal Sharkey.
Personally, I'd have given it to one ( or all) of the Undertones that wrote the songs.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Beautiful performance of the Byrd Canticles and Tallis Responses, last Sunday at evensong in Kings College Chapel. Sir Stephen looking a little frail at times, the singing anything but.Comment

Just wondering what was meant by DracoM's 'Crikey'!
Stephen Cleobury's knighthood couldn't be more 'right' ... over the decades he has done a fantastic job at King's, and in the wider musical world. One has only to think of the organ and choral scholars he has nurtured now major players in the musical world, not to mention the literally hundreds of young choristers whose lives will have been enhanced by his work at such a high level for so long. Bravo Sir Stephen ... and I'm sure we would all wish him a long and happy retirement.

I took it as a comment on his frailty.Originally posted by Roger Judd View Post
But Draco's postings are often rather difficult to interpret, and do not necessarily relate to the immediately preceding post (as often the message being responded to is not quoted!).
