A bit of retail therapy today, and guess what tune came on? Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers! Such a classic! It reminded me of the absolute joy I had recording a cover of this timeless duet with the incredibly talented Caitlin Grey last year.

Traditional folk songs are a brilliant way to spark creativity and connection. Here’s NPCC singing “Hey Ho Nobody Home” as a round – perfect for harmony, vocal delivery, and mental engagement. Accessible and timeless, it’s the ideal way to start a choir rehearsal!

Sometimes, as an MD, it’s better to just listen. Thrilled @diviwalters has brought back the Phantom medley for @northprospectchoir this term. It’s such a stunning, powerful piece! 🎶✨ #ChoirLife

Fantastic 2nd rehearsal of the term with the wonderful NPCC! 🎶 Such energy, fun + enthusiasm. There’s something truly magical about bringing people together through song to spread happiness. 💙 When it’s this rewarding, it sure doesn’t feel like work! #ChoirLife #CommunityThroughMusic #SpreadJoy

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Stu Penman and I crafting harmonies for a new piece we’ve written for combined children’s and adult choirs. 🎶 There’s something special about a musical partnership where ideas bounce and grow.
