What a shame they're not releasing more of his works as they did with the very underrated Frank Bridge. Never mind, at least Chandos wre flying the flag for largely forgotten British composers. <BR/><BR/>Have you read Cyril Scott's autobiography, 'Bone of Contention'? It's well worth rooting out as he was such a fascinating man who wrote books on the occult, philosophy and alternative medicine, one of which was called 'Constipation and Common Sense'!<BR/><BR/>I see you know the Wheatsheaf. You may like to know I arrange talks in the upstairs room on various subjects. Last year we were given a very entertaining talk on Peter Warlock. If you would like to be on our mailign list please let me know.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards<BR/><BR/>Dave FogartyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
