Licence renewal

I got my renewal notice for my TV Licence yesterday, and reluctantly paid it. It’s not that I disagree with the concept of a TV Licence at all. In the UK, the licence fee is a small price to pay for the quality TV and radio programmes broadcast on the BBC. But here in Ireland, the public service broadcaster RTÉ just isn’t very good - especially when compared against the BBC. And to make matters worse, the RTÉ TV and radio shows are still interrupted by commercial advertising, which is rubbish.

Choral Evensong reviews

I find it interesting that our broadcast of Choral Evensong last Sunday has sparked off so much debate on the BBC Radio 3 Message Boards. It’s great that people feel so passionate about their church music (because it’s a passion I share), but I had no idea that folk would pour over every detail of the service.
