Discovering a new skill

Discovering a new skill

These are difficult times, but perhaps it's time for us to focus on what is important to us. Without question, that starts with the people around us, but it also means our own mental and physical health.

I discovered a new skill in 2019 that has made me unquestionably happier - I was offered the chance to present a classical music show on community radio station North Herts Radio. As it's internet-based, it actually has an international audience that is growing and it was a great opportunity.

The pinnacle for me was yesterday's show, when I welcomed international pianist Marco Marconi into the studio. Marco was born in Italy and now has a successful career from his base in the UK. Finding out more about his story was a delight.
