Is it true you composed music for Charles and Diana’s royal wedding?
It wasn’t the actual wedding. It was the day before -- outside St Paul’s Cathedral. I composed a little ditty that you can probably find somewhere on the internet. I’m not sure if they ever heard it. Although I did get the freedom of the city of London, which was rather nice, from the lord mayor.
What did that involve?
It means I can drive my sheep across London Bridge any time I want and if I’m ever sentenced to death, I can be hanged with a silken rope.
