Dear Readers,
Stepehn Hough
I am so excited to announce that Stepehn Hough now appears on this blog alongside other Gay Catholic mentors and heroes. be sure to drop ion on his blog for a range of reflections.I really must live in a cultural ghetto as I only heard of Stepehen via the Church Resources News Service:Feature – One Catholic’s journey of music and spirituality Not only does he appear in Catholic News Services, he even writes for them
However poor Stepehn did step on more than a few precious liturgical toes when he left the safety of the keyboard for the boxing ring of the Sanctuary. His feature article The moment our eyes are opened in the 11 April 2009, English Tablet was noted by a New Zealand blogger and my old Geelong mate Kevin Bates tells me that the Tablet also published his letter correcting Stepehen’s reading of the Liturgy.

I managed to get along to the final evening of ‘POWER & PANACHE’ to see Stephen Hough with the Sydney Symphony on June 22. What an evening. I came away with a brief chat with the man himself, a signed copy of a CD and a little more knowledge of Classical Piano. So, welcome Stephen!!!
