“Martin Graham is quietly spoken and not easily fazed, but he has a countryman’s beady eye for detail and disdain of needless extravagance. He knows every inch of the barn theatre and proudly strokes the fine joinery executed by his old friend George from the village. Framed pictures on the walls show blown-up pages taken from Percy Scholes’s The Oxford Companion to Music, a great source of instruction and inspiration when Graham was a lad.”
