I can remember so vividly how close I came to walking out of that session. Not that it…

Well, contrary to my expectation, I am pink of cheek. Flushed with Welsh sunlight. 
We have spent the day running around the beautiful Gnoll Country Park, the site of our first performances this Frida

Welsh National Opera Orchestra, St. David’s Hall Cardiff,  Friday 26th April 2013

Creating Dr Frankenstein's (Travelling Freak Show) Monster
