I've picked him previously. Edit: He doesn't. And not for the rest of the 1980s. Listing him for main team, so he'll die mid-November this year on previous form.

Might have been on quite a few 2023 lists already. Edit: Actually a miss for the DDP, strange. Maybe I'm confusing it with other pools (Death By Numbers?) His cancer was not that bad statistically, but a couple of months ago, there were bad news, or so I recall. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted September 2, 2022 Probably the most famous choral conductor in Britain not to have a Wiki page, Terry Edwards, the founder of London Voices (who have performed choral parts for the Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter franchises among many other movies), reported dead: A 6ft 9in giant of man with a close relationship to Georg Solti, he moved to singing after failing to qualify with the GB Basketball Team for the 1964 Olympics. Became the permanent Chorus Director of the Royal Opera House in 1991, though I'm not sure when he retired from that role, perhaps 2004 according to this including a link to a podcast including an interview from 2018 https://classicaltop5.podbean.com/e/bonus-edition-terry-edwards/.
