Hubert Parry described Bach's Mass in B Minor as "the mightiest choral work ever written". We're very much looking forward to performing it on Saturday 28 March at St Albans Cathedral with Sinfonia Verdi.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:

Those of us who grew up in 1970s Britain didn’t have mobile phones or computer games. But we did have fantastic children’s TV programmes. Like Rentaghost. Here’s my tribute to a wonderful BBC show that was born 50 years ago. #Rentaghost

A legendary cricketer, an excellent administrator, and a thorough gentleman.

Hugh Morris’ love for Glamorgan shone through in everything he did, and his impact on the Club and its people will be felt for generations.

RIP Glamorgan & England batter, Hugh Morris. He scored 19,785 1st class runs at 40.29 with 53 tons. He also notched 8,606 List A runs at 35.85. Morris played three Test matches for England scoring 115 runs at 19.16 with a top score of 44. He was only 62 years old. #cricketcounts

Such very sad news. Supporting Glamorgan for half a century has had more downs than ups, but the 1990s (and early 2000s) were the exception - and Hugh Morris was at the heart of the magnificent 1993 Sunday League and 1997 County Championship triumphs. Rest well, and thanks for the memories.
Glamorgan County Cricket Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Glamorgan legend, trophy-winning captain and former CEO Hugh Morris MBE.

Our thoughts are with Hugh's family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time.
