The Musical Heritage Of Yorkshire Is Deep

To Tell You The Truth, I Never Listen To Opera At Home.

It Worries Me That Young Singers Think You Can Shortcut The Training And Go Straight To Fame And Fortune, And Programmes Like Pop Idol Have Encouraged That.

My Mum Used To Say To Me, 'spit On Yer 'ands And Take A Fresh 'old.' Keep Going Even If You Have Setbacks.

I Would Just Like To Say That Opera Is No Longer About Fat People In Breastplates Shattering Wine Glasses.

I Don't Think I Have Ever Met A Single Person Who Isn't Moved By Music Of Some Kind.
