My pleasure Lol. I think that you have to write in but not sure what the situation is now as I'm talking about many years ago. We got in through my uncle, who once asked Sir Arthur Bliss (the President of the PRS) for his autograph, whilst standing next to him in a urinal. Sir Arthur replied 'Yes, certainly - as soon as I get my hands free old boy'.

Nice story to be able to tell ;D

Definitely! Glad you liked it Fergus. My uncle certainly enjoyed telling my brother and I about his experience with the Master of the Queen's Musick!

Enjoyed this nice recording this weekend. Cool music.

P.s. It appears that the fine disc of the PCs by Yuasa/Donohoe has not been discussed. So adding a pic.

It has, but not here. The Constant Lambert Improvisations is a cracker which I went overboard with praise (nothing wrong with that, I liked it!) :D
