Find out what else Sammy doesn't like (alongside partsongs).

'Sammy' is Nicholas Mulroy by the way (as you've been asking...)

Current ep of Choral Chihuahua. Her music really does ‘that thing’.

Series 10 - amazingly- of Choral Chihuahua starts with Joanna Marsh and her new album. I’m slightly drunk on her rich textures: hear her talk about matching music to poetry and more. Search Choral Chihuahua to listen for free. New ep every 2 weeks.

Bravo the 2000 recipient of the Bream Choir trophy at St James the Greater, Leicester, where I’m working today. A prize for longevity too.

What was it like being a professional choral singer in the 1970s-90s? Don’t miss our latest Choral Chihuahua with consort legend Olive Simpson.

A treat for your weekend: 2 years after its release, we again offer our whodunnit short film: Goosed! 🪿

10 minutes of life if Cluedo, The Pink Panther and Renaissance music all collided.

Watch the full short film here: shm.to/goosed

(Screenplay by the great Timothy Knapman.)

Our podcast Choral Chihuahua, now in its 9th season, is packed with insight–and a touch of humour.

Recently Eamonn Dougan interviewed conductor Sir Mark Elder about a life in music.  Who knew he was a cathedral chorister?

One for all classical music lovers 🐕
