It's the time of the Cheltenham Music Festival and though we are both music people, we neither of us fancied much in the programme this time, except for a conducting masterclass on Sunday, at Pittville Pump Rooms, and a supper concert last night at The Daffodil.
This was particularly interesting, because the Daffodil used to be a cinema, where Mark's Uncle Tobe used to be the projectionist! It's a beautiful art-deco building with the most wonderful architectural details. We heard Claire Martin and Richard Rodney Bennet - smooth, velvety music for a well-fed audience, late on a summer's evening.
