about
David Sinden plays the organ, spends a lot of time in churches and is obsessed with liturgy. He's an Episcopalian, so he knows all about the liturgical year and monstrances.
He has a special fondness for fountain pens, photography, Post-It Notes, umbrellas and Weezer. He prefers Bach to Kuhnau, Vierne to Widor, Sibelius to Mahler, Star Wars to Star Trek, Britten to Tippet, and Knight Rider to Knight Ridder.
If he could, he would sing hymns all day.
He loves airports.
