BASIL GOUGH

This one is a little off the mark because I never actually met my grandfather, but i was rather amazed when the magic of google yielded some photos of him from the 1930s. He played for Cambridge University Rugby Fives Club from 1934 - 1937 and captained the team in 1936. Google also informed me that he reached the final of the national doubles in 1937, and I was suitably impressed. I also rather like their outfits…

ESTHER VENROOY

Everything I hear by Esther amazes me. Her compositions have a clarity and intensity that entice me back to them again and again.
