… and one green shoot
mainA cello student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama was looking around one day, wondering what he could do with all these wonderful talented people he was meeting.
I know, he thought, let’s make a festival back home. Mostly local, some London pals.
Jonathan Bloxham is now 23 and Northern Chords is coming up for its third successful run.
More initiative like his is needed much higher up the scale.
