Watching @JoeCavalliPrice on @BBCNews talking about music in hospices. Incredible. I’m lucky to have seen its impact myself. It can feel visceral at times with raw emotion and sheer joy triggered by the music. Thank you!

Tony Lynes was an important figure in setting up @CYMLibrary as a charity, adding as a volunteer and trustee for many years. Current volunteer (and ex-trustee) Peter Smith attended this week's lecture. Peter worked with Tony for many years at CYM Library.
