Such a fantastic podcast. I love their stories and anecdotes about the start up of Choir, Choir, Choir, audiences, singing your own way, songs that work and don't work! Got me at Nina Simone and John Martyn, who I was lucky enough to see . Also Gordon Lightfoot. A must in my house. Checking out YouTube now. Fabulous. Thank you both and James. I loved it. Xx
