Well, hello there. I’m writing this from a very busy Finnish train. In spite of its being very busy, everyone has a reserved seat that they in which they are duly sitting. I love Nordic manners. October has been an extraordinary month for me. Performing at Christ’s Hospital was an experience I’ll never forget - the meeting of two institutions (it and The King’s Singers) that are so dear to me, particularly with so many friends, members of my family and former teachers in the audience - people that helped me develop into the musician and man I am today. I’ve just uploaded a video to Facebook of me with some current students too, so you can see how funny the uniform is. It is, reportedly, the oldest school uniform in the world. And there’s something about wearing knee-length, saffron-dyed, woollen socks that’s especially character-building (and that’s compound adjectives for one paragraph). It was so heartening to perform with the school’s chamber choir - the Schola Cantorum - as well, a choir of which I was once a member. I have so many very special memories of music-making at Christ’s Hospital, and it was very moving to be able to relive some of them nine years on. Since then, we’ve been in Saint Petersburg; we’ve celebrated Bruiser’s 30th birthday in Oxford; we’ve performed in glorious Henley; and we’ve been in Finland, performing in some of the world’s finest concert halls, and in perhaps the finest of them all tonight: Helsinki’s Musiikkitalo. Pictures will follow, I’m certain. Finally, I’m celebrating this morning. I’m celebrating because I’ve finally beaten Finnish jet lag (albeit with the help of the clocks going back an hour this morning). We each deal with travel in different ways. Some people find long-haul travel the most challenging. Not I. For me, nothing is more difficult that jumping two hours forward (which many of my colleagues find hysterical). I think it’s the fact that I usually think it’s “just two hours”, and I therefore don’t prepare myself for having to fall asleep earlier than normal. Anyway, I’ve adjusted just in time to fly back to London tomorrow. Such is life.
