Guest Julia L - I'm afraid it's nothing exalte: "they" are an amateur orchestra near Cambridge for whom I write short sets of pieces based, usually, on folksongs. I've never made my settings available to anyone else. The conductor of the Cambridge group comes up with ideas for things he wants to play and I deliver what I can - it's a great inspiration - I often get little warning.

I've also written for a couple of amateur groups in the north-west of England.

It's a fun sideline to being retired but I do like to treat the original material with respect.
