JD on TV

I will be on BBC1's Breakfast news tomorrow morning (Monday) live between 8.30 and 9am, along with BBC Music Magazine's editor Oliver Condy, to discuss the Mozart juvenilia that pitched up in Salzburg the other day. Please excuse me while I hurry off to do my hair...

and by the way

...I've had two rave reviews for SONGS, here: http://www.lep.co.uk/bookreviews/Songs-of-Triumphant-Love-.5459031.jp and here: http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/reviews/index.php/Songs_of_Triumphant_Love_by_Jessica_Duchen

The Proms start tomorrow!

My preview of this year's Proms season is in The Independent today, here.

Breaking through the Silence

Post today on English PEN/JAM's concert in Westminster paying tribute to persecuted Burmese writers. Please come along if you can.

Women on Wires

It's been a slow blog week, due to book launch, deadlines and technical glitches, but the underlying theme has been some seriously wired women, including me.

Some extra news for those who are still accessing the posts via JDCMB Original: Songs of Triumphant Love is to be turned into an audio book! This is really good news, not least because the others weren't, and it's an increasingly popular format.
