Gawd knows what PHS sees in Hickox....! He's certainly got hidden attractions IMHO ! Not my type at all....she's very beautiful, tho looks a little High Maintenance & brittle. (How judgemental! naughty me!)He continues to be besotted by the looks of things.
GIMME PADMORE ANY DAY !!!!!!! (Is he a friend of Dorothy's? anyone?)
xx Nosey me xx Jan
It was such a fab evening, I loved it ! I've heard such amazing things in that wee church, it's magical.

Hi Jan, Please tell me you'll be coming to London to hear Padmore sing "On Wenlock Edge" at Proms Chamber Music on 01/09/2008 Sold out when I tried to book on 18 July, Ruth. So if anyone is planning to go and doesn't yet have a ticket they'd be well-advised to make sure they can get there in time to pick up a day ticket. I hope to go myself as I'm in town for the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester in the evening. I presume day tickets go on sale from 1100 as they did last time I got one. |

Gawd knows what PHS sees in Hickox....! A career? (You're not the only naughty one, Jan ) My daughter-in-law's father was at school in High Wycombe with Hickox. They called him Sid, his middle name. GIMME PADMORE ANY DAY !!!!!!! (Is he a friend of Dorothy's? anyone?) Not unless my friend-of-Dorothy antennae have failed me quite radically!! I'm sure I'm being dim, but who's Dorothy? |

A character played by the young Judy Garland, Mary. She has lots of male friends who would not touch her with a bargepole, so to speak. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend_of_Dorothy |

Either Judy Garland's character in The Wizard of Oz, or else Dorothy Parker, Mary. In either case it's a covert term for a gay man.

It was 1000 last time I looked, HtoHe. Indeed, I've only done the day-ticket thing at Cadogan Hall once, last year for Angela Hewitt. Mary: The expression "Friend of Dorothy" is a well-known allusion to the gay-icon status of Judy Garland when appearing in The Wizard of Oz. Indeed, when I and a former boyfriend went to a "Singalonga" Wizard of Oz event at the Prince Charles Cinema some years ago, I am certain we were the only straight adults there  |

OK, I've worked that out, though it's not an expression I've heard before. Sounds very coy. Mark Padmore is married and has a daughter.

My sister-in-law had never heard of it either, Mary and, at first, accused me of making it up. Even when I said to her "Why do you think that club in Liverpool is called 'Garlands'?" she insisted it was a coincidence! It was 1000 last time I looked, HtoHe. Indeed, I've only done the day-ticket thing at Cadogan Hall once, last year for Angela Hewitt.
Thanks, Ruth. I've only done it once myself - for Thomas Allen & Imogen Cooper - and I could have sworn it was 1100. I can't see any clear information online, though it seems the box office opens at 1000 so you're probably right. I'm down at least twice before that anyway so I'll check it out then. |

I can confirm beyond any reasonable doubt that it is 1000, I got there then for Aimard's recital the other week.

Sounds very coy. It is, and I don't know any gay man who would use the term today. But I assumed Jan meant it in a friendly way. There are plenty of celebrity/artist heartthrobs who are fancied by gay men as much as by straight women*, but Mark Padmore is most definitely not one of them: I think we're all quite happy to leave him to his hordes of female admirers (I really can't imagine what you all see in him!!!). (*I'm no admirer of Ian Bostridge myself, except purely for his artistic talents, but I certainly saw the joke when a friend described him as 'appealing to older ladies of both sexes'.) |

Thanks, Eruanto. I'd hate to have been responsible for someone turning up at the Box Office to find all the tickets had been sold half an hour ago! They're remarkably cheap, too, if I've read the online info properly. |
