We made many programmes together and Barrie always had an insightful way of visualising music. He did a great Private Passions too. I will miss Barald Gavinius, as I nicknamed him.
@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Thank you for your lovely tribute to our dear friend The film-maker Barrie Gavin, who died yesterday. Here he is at @PresteigneFest in conversation with @MichaelBerkele2
