Congratulations to Professor David Mba, announced as the incoming Vice Chancellor @MyBCU - it will be a huge wrench to retire from this unique university in October, but I'm delighted to leave it in such safe hands for the next stage of its journey.

Such a pleasure to be @vocebooks this evening to listen to one of my absolute heroes @mjohnharrison who I started reading in the now distant 1970s and whose writing continued to be assured, elusive and thoroughly wonderful.

Thank you very much, Andrew - and to all the other guests, writers and presenters. It was a wonderful launch event, celebrating the diversity of the relationships with India at 75. And with this performance at its heart. Just splendid.
