Saddo abroad: May 2011
http://saddoabroad.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Saddo abroad: May 2011. Saturday, May 28, 2011. I like a good diner, I do, and in the last two weeks I've managed to visit a few. It's a tough gig. On a warm evening, such as when we dropped in for a large Heath bar concrete, the place is humming with families and groups of friends. They take their custards back to their pick-ups and cars, where they slurp and chat under the Ted Drewes neon sign while the traffic drifts by on America's most famous road.

Saddo abroad: April 2011
http://saddoabroad.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saddo abroad: April 2011. Saturday, April 23, 2011. I was back in my old alma mater yesterday, King's College Cambridge, singing in the Chapel. I think I may have finally conquered the fear that overwhelms me whenever I start to sing in the place, but I'm not sure. It's a fear rooted in my first ever experience of singing under it's famous fan-vaulted ceiling. When I'd finished wrecking the brief piece of Howells (I'm pretty sure it was Howells), Ledger said I could go but to wait outside. So I walke...

Saddo abroad: October 2011
http://saddoabroad.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saddo abroad: October 2011. Sunday, October 30, 2011. If there's one thing for which I am eternally grateful it is that I have never had to take my kit off on stage, which is quite remarkable given that I worked with Opera Factory back in its heyday. If that means nothing to you, suffice it to say that nudity in their shows used to be pretty-well de rigeur. So what led me to ponder this subject? Not well, I would think. Posted by Chris Gillett @ 12:42 AM. Saturday, October 22, 2011. If you are grossing m...

Saddo abroad: February 2011
http://saddoabroad.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saddo abroad: February 2011. Saturday, February 26, 2011. March of the trolls. As you can see if you look to the right, I tweet. I don't like Facebook but I like Twitter. I like the way you have to focus an idea into 140 characters. So what's the relevance of all this? Of course they didn't use the word "therefore". Are you kidding? Their tweets had the literary skills of a gibbon that's just drunk five cans of Pepsi and they were laced with the usual plethora of OMGs and LOLs. It didn't go well after th...

Saddo abroad: September 2011
http://saddoabroad.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saddo abroad: September 2011. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Despite being a non-smoker, I own an ashtray that's made from a piece of granite from the old London Bridge. And it's just like Aled Jones. No, I don't mean that Ex Boy Soprano and TV's "Cash In The Attic" Presenter Aled Jones has carved out a career as an object without any practical use; that he's a crumbling fragment of his past and he's living off his former glory. I wouldn't do a thing like that. Uh huh. No way. Tsk. How they all laughed.

Saddo abroad: March 2011. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Bob Tear - "sublime and celestial greatness". It was the last time I saw Bob and today I learned that he has just died. So to have him listen to me do it, to have him hug me later and say nice things. today means more to me than I can possibly share. He conducted me a few times. We did the Britten Serenade together, during which he would mutter encouraging things ("Marvellous darling, marvellous! There's so much more I wish I could have shared with Bob&#...
