'A team of musicologists has unearthed the printed score of a previously unknown Purcell song, as well as the original manuscript for various keyboard compositions, partly in the composer’s own hand – the first Purcell autograph to be found for more than 30 years.' 1/3

Front cover - white text on green background reads: The Modern British City 1945-2000. Edited by Simon Gunn, Peter Mandler and Otto Saumarez Smith.
Photo on cover depicts twe semi-detached (possibly formerly terraced) houses on a street corner in front of the modernist Park Hill estate in Sheffield.
"Our purpose in The Modern British City is not merely to describe urban change but to explain why British cities, in all their extraordinary multifariousness, look and feel the way they do today"
Really excited for this expansive new book coming out in November www.lundhumphries.com/blogs/featur...

A predatory publisher sent me an email inviting me to publish my work. They called me 'Dr' in the salutation… It’s a bit early for that but I hope to earn the title soon 😂

Finished today's archival research! Each time I come across interesting material, I get excited by the thought of how best to articulate its appeal in my writing.

Saw 'Itch' at Opera Holland Park. I was fascinated by the creative set modelled on the periodic table, which functioned as a screen, a doorway, and stairs. Brilliant production.
