I'm enjoying a few days at home before we sing at the Cheltenham Festival on Thursday. We will perform a new programme celebrating the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll's fantastic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The concert will feature settings of text from the book, alongside other works which mirror the episodes of the story. We will be joined by the actor Tim Pigott-Smith, who will read passages from the book. This programme has allowed us to re-visit some classic KS repertoire, including the lovely setting by Gordon Langford of Spike Milligan's Alice in Wonderland. As a result there is a lot of new music for this line-up of the group, and, more unusually, there is one piece in the concert that is new to me - The Riddle Song, a traditional song in an arrangement by Howard Goodall, which some of you will know from the group's Kids' Stuff CD. After Cheltenham we will be gearing up for our Summer School, which gets under way next Monday. I'm hoping that the beautiful weather that we have in the UK at the moment will continue into next week (in fact, it looks as though it will top 30C on Wednesday), although given that Wimbledon starts today, I'm not assuming anything.
