Album launch

Dear Jean-François,

I am an opera singer and composer and on Friday I am releasing my new album, Unveiled. This is an album of classical song by mostly gay composers and/or poets. 

I am giving a launch recital at London’s Wigmore Hall on the 29th at 1pm and I’m wanting to get some more tickets sold/seats filled. 

https://www.wigmore-hall.org.uk/whats-on/202306291300

Email Elgan directly on elganthomastenor@gmail.com to gain free tickets, there are ten to be won, first come first served.

I’m wanting to engage with an LGBT audience who may not be lovers of classical music, to try and engage a new audio e if you will. 

Here is a Pink News article on the project:

Opera singer Elgan Llŷr Thomas on radically queer album Unveiled thepinknews.com

I will also be appearing on Radio 4’s Front Row next week. If you’d like to come to

The event then let me know and I’ll arrange tickets. If you can think of a way to reach out to some LGBTQ folk in London then I’d love to hear your thoughts. 

Best wishes,

Elgan Llŷr Thomas

Spotlight on our members, Piero Apicella and Tim Dee

 Both have recently joined recently

Piero Apicella is particularly anxious to recruit new staff, please see https://www.bleachers.co.uk/jobs.html

He is looking for an e-commerce manager, manufacturing,  retail staff and more. If you know of someone who is interested, please pass it on.

"Bleachers and CO takes its inspiration from iconic British fashion trends of the 60s, 70s and 80s, including a re-interpretation of the working class skinhead look from the 60s and 80s (before it was hijacked by the Far Right) and the punk look of the 70s.

Founded in 2005 by three friends, it is now an integral part of the UK and European fetish scene, supplying some of the top fetish shops, we have been supporting events since the start. Our support of international events like Darklands, Folsom Europe, London Fetish Week, BLF Easter and Skinhead parties and many more have made it possible for the brand to become an established player on the scene and further expansion on the USA and Australian markets have been another area of growth with various collaborations.

We are now looking to expand and replace the team after the Brexit and Covid contractions, to help with our new and exciting plans. Full details on our website.”

Tim Dee has just launched his sustainability consulting and accounting practice (Ancoram) and wants to raise the profile of his 100%-gay-owned business.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-dee/ 

Does your business serve listed groups in the UK, EU or US? Or do you form part of a listed business' supply chain? 

If so, over the next three years you can expect a tsunami of sustainability reporting demands from your customers. Businesses that do not prepare risk losing critical customers: we are already observing a marked shift in listed groups' procurement criteria across the FTSE and AIM markets. Ancoram is a boutique consultancy and accounting practice, recently launched by Tim Dee, helping SMEs report their environmental, social and governance (ESG) impact. 

We work with you to identify ESG data sources, process, verify and report data across multiple sustainability frameworks in an auditable format. We're regulated by ACCA and are on our way to becoming a B Corp.
