Mike Wheeler
Mike Wheeler has been writing about music professionally, both programme notes and journalism, for twenty years. He has a BA (Hons) degree in music from Nottingham University, and is an adult education tutor for the WEA. He has also given pre-concert talks and presentations for recorded music societies. His interests and sympathies are very catholic, covering a wide range of periods, genres and styles, though he tends to regard twentieth-century British music (Elgar onwards) as a kind of home base.
