Sounds like fun, Mark! Is this a family trip, or are you shuffling off to Sussex on your own?
Thanks also for the reading list. You've done the hard work for me already once again!
Any chance this event will be recorded?
I once went for an interview at the uni of Sussex, but they weren't impressed by my monosyllabic ignorance of literature and only wanting to talk about Van Der Graaf Generator (this was in 1975), so I had to go to uni at Exeter instead.
I wish you had talked more about Celia's music in the bio - what is it like, what does it say?
A solo trip, Eric, and a flying one – I suspect it will pass in a haze of jet-lag.
I dunno about the recording, Joe, but "A"-24 itself has just been put up (in the famous Grand Piano version) on the PennSound site!
Michael, I am hampered in assessing CZ's music by my (blush) inability to read a score. I once heard a performance of most of the Autobiography, & was frankly unimpressed.
Van Der Graaf Generator is v. v. boss.
