The government says it wants to achieve growth but then it doesn't want immigrants, doesn't want to electrify the railways, and doesn't want high-speed trains. It's like me saying I want to lose weight and then eating a full English every day for breakfast.

The Phantom of the Opera turns 39 today.

I had the pleasure of playing Piangi in the London production — wonderful memories from an unforgettable time.

A little throwback — ten years ago fronting the operatic symphonic metal band Proscenium.
Wonderful to have shared the stage with such brilliant musicians.

Just finished listening to Music Is Art Vol. 1 by Chimpan A — poetic, cinematic, with moving narration and stunning vocals from Steve Balsamo.
