Summer is upon us once more! What better soundtrack than HTTT? Our guest this week is the amazing Paul Groves. Hailing from Guildford, Surrey, (UK), Paul developed a passion for house music and started DJ'ing in the early 90's, making regular appearances in bars, clubs and underground parties across London and the South East. After a ten-year break, Paul returned to the decks in 2009 after being inspired by Greg Wilson's seminal disco/edits Essential Mix on Radio 1. He quickly established himself as a resident DJ for Shade Disco where his love of nu-disco, filtered, soulful and jackin' house, have seen him on warm-up duties for Michael Gray, The Shapeshifters, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Dr Packer, Hifi Sean, Fingerman and Babert to name but a few. Together with Lee ‘Evil' Smarty, Paul formed Project Bango – a DJ partnership and a successful monthly club night where the duo's energy has given new meaning to the phrase ‘dancefloor-friendly party rockers'!

Synopsis On today's date in the year 2000, the Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen gave the premiere of a new opera entitled “The Handmaid's Tale,” based on the dystopian novel by Canadian writer Margaret Atwood. The book and opera tell of a nightmarish future: following a nuclear disaster in the United States, infertility rates have soared, and a religious sect has staged a military coup, enslaving the few fertile women who remain as breeders, or “handmaids,” for the military and religious commanders of their sect. Says Atwood, "There is nothing new about the society I depicted in The Handmaid's Tale except the time and place. All of the things I have written about have been done before – more than once, in fact." Despite its grim subject matter, Danish composer Poul Ruders says he saw "huge operatic potential" when he first read the book back in 1992. The original production in Copenhagen was sung in Danish, but Ruders says he conceived the work in English. The opera was staged in that language first in London at the English National Opera, and subsequently, at the opera's American premiere, in St. Paul by The Minnesota Opera, to great critical acclaim.

This episode of Spoleto Backstage highlights one of Geoff Nuttall’s all-time favorite programs from the Spoleto Festival USA Chamber Music Series: the eleventh and final concert from the 2018 season. As Geoff discusses with Bradley Fuller before the music begins, the wide-ranging, variety-packed lineup of this program is emblematic of the chamber series as a whole. To start, the men of the Westminster Choir join the regular chamber musicians for a performance of Franz Schubert’s sublime choral setting of Goethe’s “Gesang der Geister über den Wassern.” Cellist Joshua Roman and pianist Gilles Vonsattel then perform Ludwig van Beethoven’s Cello Sonata in C major, Op. 102. Following the late Beethoven work is Antonio Vivaldi’s stormy “Summer” concerto from The Four Seasons . For the final two pieces of the program, tenor Paul Groves takes center stage with a performance of two hit arias: Gaetano Donizetti’s “Una furtiva lagrima” (from L’elisir d’amore ) and Charles Gounod’s “Salut! Demeure

Fishing Podcast Episode #104 -Dave and Clay get fancy and go to Boston's Symphony Hall to interview international singing star and expert Louisiana fisherman Paul Groves. The interview was set up by Sam, the Hall's senior publicist and our new best friend in Boston. We hauled all our recording gear to Paul's fancy dressing room and learned about his journey from a kid putting around Louisiana in a jon boat to a guy jetting around the globe singing in the best opera houses! Of course we gave Paul one of our famous Fish Nerd quizzes that tested his knowledge of fish and musical instruments (he knew more fish). We can't thank Paul and Sam enough for making this one of a kind show possible.
