day two.four

The Great Voices of Bulgaria have been picked up from Heathrow after flying directly from Sofia and are currently being driven to Lichfield. Heathrow still often provides the most econonical flights, but it is such a schlep up from Heathrow when you compare what it is like arriving into Birmingham International Airport or East Midlands Airport. Lichfield is in the middle of both of these, and the transfer time is about 30 mins compared to 2+ hours from Heathrow. Of course, flying from Sofia sometimes limits where you can arrive...

Just got back from the Great Voices of Bulgaria concert at the cathedral. Absolutely magnificent !
The voices were beautiful and the musical direction awesome. It takes a lot to get an English middle class audience going but these Bulgarians did that with a vengeance. The applause was long, heartfelt and richly deserved. I hope it's not too long before the Great Voices make a return trip.

thank you Roger Walker, for your comments. I'm delighted that you enjoyed your evening. To my knowledge, this was only the second time that the Great Voices of Bulgaria have performed in Britain (last year at Bath Festival was the first). I also hope that they return quickly...
