On Wednesday 6 March at 1 pm, we were very pleased welcome James Todd for our lunchtime recital. James gave his first recital here, this time last year, when his assured performance was very much appreciated, and we were not disappointed with today’s recital. The programme was very varied , and James played with both great skill and confidence. A splendid recital! |
