Congrats to all the performers for an amazing festival ☀️

A glorious way to end two days of really special music making with this excellent bunch. Loved bringing the Stanford Tennyson songs for solo quartet back into the light. A massive thank you to Ludlow English Song Weekend 🎶 for having me, and to my amazing colleagues all weekend.

So, my last Ludlow English Song Weekend 🎶 and I sign off and hand over to Toria. Aching feet, cold champagne and a full heart. Thank you all who made this last one for me so special and who gave me hugs and warm words. We will meet again. Onwards English Song! Lots of love always Steve ❤️

A real surprise in our closing recital, with songs for 4 voices by Charles Stanford. How lucky to be able to assemble the talents of Ian Tindale, Harriet Burns, Olivia Ray, Jerome Knox (@Knoxyj) & Dafydd Jones (@DafJones_Tenor)! An embarrassment of riches to end our festival!
