Maybe he wrote something in advance, Eight Songs for an Old Queen maybe... but I wonder which of the three advertised singers would be performing it?

TRYING to flog?
sold out the first print run, and I haven't really started yet.

let me know if you want a sample copy.....its top stuff.....

in fact, I'll do you a good deal in return for an early copy of the Proms programme.

( other titles are available for those of a more republican nature....)

Not sure it would be worth the courier charge: I'll probably only get it a day early!
Release date seems to have moved to Wednesday, according to the Proms mailshot I got earlier this week: the website is due to go live at 2pm. Original information (both Amazon and my local bookshop) said that the guide was available from Thursday 14 April, I think.

One wonders if she ever enjoyed The Royal Variety Show, or had any choice over the performers/acts?
She deserves credit for enduring that for countless years.
Has attendance now been passed on to younger members of the firm?
