What I have found interesting whilst in lockdown is the promotion of all the subjects that in school get the least appreciation; Art, Music, Sport. If they are all essential for keeping us sane in lockdown why aren’t they just as essential when it comes to funding?

This is such a great interview bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

Listening to Blur and missing going out. Feels as long ago as the 90s since I last went out

Sign, sign, sign. “The Government wants to impose a catastrophic 50% funding cut to arts subjects at higher education (HE) level in England. I've joined the PCA for the Arts to tell Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP: arts education matters. Will you join too?”campaignforthearts.org/petitions/stop…

Such sad news

Just stumbled on this great show by ⁦⁦Cerys Matthews⁩ on R4 bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m…

Gutted for Oldham Coliseum, which is such a gem of a theatre. We need venues like this to survive

Very sad to hear of the death of George Lois, who was one of my favourite interviewees ever and told it like it is creativereview.co.uk/remembering-ge…

The future of the 140 year old Oldham Coliseum in doubt. A local theatre that championed the likes of Thora Hird. In a levelling-up priority area, the most deprived borough in the region. No pantos for these kids anymore. Just so infuriating and sad… #LevellingDown
