Spotted a review of this disc from Lucy Humphris in an old @gramophoneMag and I love it. Particularly the Janacek. So refreshing, occasionally challenging, but some gorgeous playing. (Sadly, my lack of any followers on here means it won't be propelled up the classical charts).

A joy to speak at liverpoolphilEd today with beautiful people 😭

I would really really urge people, ESPECIALLY men in the music industry and people working outside the industry to read this report. It is 2024 and it should be a scandal that this kind of thing is still happening right now to people you know and love.

“You’d think it’d be classier in classical”. Response of fellow evidence giver to this report.
Thank you to sisters who entrusted me with their stories, which I was honoured to relay, alongside my own. committees.parliament.uk/publications/4…

An unsurprisingly alarming read. Solidarity and strength to all those that experience misogyny in music on a daily basis, and yet are asked to prove its existence AND pave the way for change.

Tonight, we return to The House on the Borderland, William Hope Hodgson's claustrophobic cosmic horror account of a lonely house and its unsettling surroundings. Click on over to Chilliteracy on twitch.tv because we're starting soon!

Stoked that my union Musicians' Union are striking for the first time in over 40 years (!) fighting back against cuts to musicians’ jobs & livelihoods at the ENO in London. Thanks & solidarity! May you fight & win 🎻 🎻 🎻

“We shouldn’t have to spend all this time presenting ourselves in order to be recognized” 👊

Good evening Book-Enjoyers! Lucy is now taking over the short-story baton which means that we have a hand-picked selection of truncated tales to accompany you on this shorter autumnal evening. Head on over to Chilliteracy on Twitch.tv to listen in!

Dartington Festival is a wonderful place and deserves to be able to continue for many years to come.

There's no corner of music-making in the UK that hasn't at some time been impacted positively by Dartington Summer School. That this 75 year legacy is under terminal threat is shocking. I ask my erstwhile colleagues on the Trust to ponder the question: What is Dartington for?

🧵I've decided to share in full the film of my award-winning show Dispatches on the Red Dress over on my YouTube. Please enjoy it & I ask in return that you donate the cost of a ticket (or much more if you can) to Medical Aid for Palestinians:

I would say I'm sorry...but I'm not. This tune is the original game soundtrack banger. If you know, you know.
