Matt and I go into rehearsal on Monday with a choir and a group of young people to make the Pilot for For The Fallen. I’ve been using the Cheshire database created for the IWM Roadshow Project, in which there is lots of lovely poignant material.

I’m currently having a wonderful time as a guest of RISEBA, the university where business meets the arts, in Riga, Latvia. I gave a guest lecture there on Tuesday (details here), and am meeting students for tutorials today about their projects.
Riga has a long and fascinating history. I had a wonderful personal guided walking tour arranged by EAT Riga Tours & Events, from a lovely guide called Agnese. Her knowledge was exemplary, and her company lovely. This is a capital city well worth a visit!
When I say artist I mean the one who is building things …
some with a brush – some with a shovel – some choose a pen.
