John Amis has a blog
The former My Music panelist John Amis, who is now aged 86, has a classical music blog called John Amis online.
Trivia: John Amis is a cousin of the novelist Kingsley Amis.
Thanks for drawing my attention to John Amis's genial and informative blog. John is one the great anecdotalists, and an all round good egg. Would that the BBC still made more use of him.
