Re: Sir Harrison Birtwistle

Sorry- no, I don't know which Methodist Chapel in Oswaldtwistle John Tomlinson attended, it's just that that is how he referred to it when he mentioned it in a newspaper interview; I didn't realise myself that there was more than one!
Incidentally, John received rave reviews for his performance at Covent Garden in Siegfried this month (October 2005) and an interview with him was prominent in the 1st October 2005 edition of "The Spectator". It refers to the "popular Lancastrian with the worldwide reputation" and lists a packed diary including future appearances at Munich and Bayreuth. Amusingly John says that in Europe the name "John Tomlinson sounds quite exotic over there........!"
