"Endearing" is quite the word -- with your permission, I'd join in your coffee-chat, except with tea as my beverage of choice. I found his book (which expands on one of the television series) quite by accident while poking around the Music section of my local Waterstone's, & bought it at once. It's wonderfully conversational in tone.
I emailed him once, asking a lengthy question, & received an equally lengthy reply. I sort-of know his godson & godson's father -- I've sung in front of the latter. (English choral circles are comparatively small! Or at least happily inter-linked.) I might have him on video somewhere, presenting this year's Choir of the Year. He's a supporter of Newcastle United, apparently. And he's a composer whose actual method makes me ponder theories of a "collective subconscious".
And, of course, I'm the only other person on LiveJournal with his name in their interest list. (I have several LiveJournals, though, & don't really use any of them, making me effectively 'Anonymous'.)

You can never enthuse too much. *cough*
