Berwick Concert Band

St Paul's Church, Main Street, Spittal, Berwick upon Tweed

This was a band I played with. They performed 'Agon,' which was basically 'Under the Poplars' from my Symphonic Suite of 1983. This movement formed the third movement of my 'Hellenic Symphony' composed around 2018-2021. I had been with the band less than a year and was 'allowed' to conduct the piece. Over the following five years there was a blockade on performing any of my music. Even having left the band a 'blockade' continues. My compositions seem to ellicit silence, minimal commentary or in some cases simple dislike from local bands, musicians and conductors. The silence that follows my work is so apparent that I have come to the conclusion that I actually have a talent.
