Wedding Messages For Jonny
As some of you would already know, I got married about a month ago. Chief Editor and head of our Euro Department Mike Punch was the best man and, in an attempt to foil our strict 'no presents' policy, he organised a bunch of my favourite musicians to record special little wedding messages. The results are fairly spine-tinglingly lovely.
