Yesterday lunchtime was the launch of Newbury Spring Festival at the Corn Exchange Bar 1861. This year is the 29th since the festival began, and it is an increasingly popular and esteemed event, despite the recent proliferation of music festivals around the country.
We were treated to a recital by Robert Murray, the tenor, and Sally Pryce on harp. The harp was exquisite - a rare treat. The guest speaker was Sue MacGregor CBE, whose voice I still miss on the Today programme - she sounds exactly the same live.
