CONDUCTOR
Richard Nott is a choral conductor, having worked with many amateur choirs and choral societies in east London and Essex with his work as Director of Music at St Bede’s Roman Catholic Church in Chadwell Heath.
His wealth of experience with Catholic liturgy ranges from plainsong and Renaissance choral music to modern worship and special commissions for important church events. Richard is also very comfortable rehearsing choirs from churches of other denominations as well as non-church choirs.
Richard’s style is very much a relaxed one, making rehearsals fun and engaging, providing a comfortable learning environment for amateur singers. Richard is also experienced in 'depping' for Choir Leaders when they are unable to take a rehearsal but want the practise to go ahead. If you are interested in talking to Richard about 'depping', please make contact with him.
News
Hello everyone, and welcome to my latest update.
As I write this, we are in the middle of a BIG heatwave at the end of June. I was playing for a funeral yesterday and felt so sorry for the Funeral Directors in their black tails and waistcoats. I was, as always, in a black suit, white shirt and tie, but I did leave my jacket in the car. There are times when that just needs to be done!
IIsabel turns 21 in July. I can't believe it. She will have broken up from college just in time for her birthday. Unfortunately, I will be in Lourdes playing the organ for a pilgrimage, but Isabel has okayed that. I'll make up for it when I get back!
The Yellow Peril is in the body shop having all her rust dealt with. There was more than first thought, so I shan't get her back until mid-July. She will be ready for my trip to France in August. Vroom vroom!
I don't seem to have an awful lot of news. Life just continues to be busy, for which I am thankful, and everyone in Richard World is well, for which I am also thankful.
I think it's about time to have air-conditioning installed, particularly in the conservatory where my organ lives. It's too hot out there to practise at the moment. Phew! Stay cool!
Best wishes,
Richard
