We played an edited version of an interview by Luch Caise-Gearg with Gillian Taylor and Crispian Steele-Perkins

 re a celebration of 900 years of Exeter Cathedral, Cathedra 900 and its culmination, 900 Years of Light at Exeter Cathedral. Crispin demonstrated the sounds made by trumpets throughout the ages and Luch played orchestral music featuring Crispian. The interview was first broadcast of Classical Journey on Phonic FM, broadcast on 1 October 2013.

900 Years Of Light is a multi-media celebration of Exeter Cathedral's 900 years of history taking place in the cathedral on the evenings of 2, 3 and 4 October 2013. It is written by Mark Ware, narrated by Emily Kreider and includes Michael Bickerton's film, Votives Ornementales and a lecture/music recital by Crispian Steele Perkins.
