My good friend Chris Honer left us back in the autumn. I learned an infinite amount as a theatre composer and musical director working for him back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, when he was director in charge of the Gateway, Chester and the Library Theatre, Manchester. A fellow Croydonian, he was blest not only with great directorial instincts and insights but also with a lovely sense of humour. I’ll be attending the celebration of his life in Manchester in May.
