This week on the Cuppa Culture we were delighted to be joined by Baritone Brendan Collins for a chat about life in lockdown. Like countless others, Brendan has seen his work schedule evaporate as the COVID19 restrictions continue. However, he has come up with a clever way to stay connected to his audience from behind closed doors. He established a Facebook page ‘Songs for Social Distancing - an isolation recital’ : https://www.facebook.com/isolationrecital/

Brendan, along with a host of colleagues aim to post a performance almost every day, and he has discovered that he is busier than ever keeping it going. Whether or not you’re a fan of Opera, it’s a wonderful initiative featuring some gorgeous performances, and a wonderful introduction to the genre. Please check it out and don’t forget to show them your support. We thank Brendan for taking time to chat and wish him the best with this innovative project.
