Hall is filling up nicely for the first performance of the excellent ‘Sand and Stars’. This truly is my favourite contest of the year… #britishopenbrass2023

I’ve been to some awful airports in the past, but Terminal 2 at Lisbon really is up there with the worst.

Looking forward to tomorrow - five new arrangements as written for HSB. Should be good!

And indeed Bolsover was good! 2nd place, best soloist and it looks like an invite back to the Spring Festival! Haverhill Silver Band

Currently in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Feels strange not to be at the RAH today, especially after performing last year. Best of luck all… #Nationalfinal2023

Framlingham Remembrance Parade with Woodbridge Band today. Proud to do my bit today #RememberanceDay2023

Sad to hear of Alistair Darling's passing. The Gordon Brown years really do seem like a lifetime ago now...

Currently in Geneva🇨🇭- nice place, but holy moly it’s expensive here. As an example, you’re looking at just under £15 for a McDonald’s meal. Slight contrast from my last city break in Sarajevo a few months back…

Aurora in full effect across Tromso 🇳🇴. Amazing.

Gutted. RIP Wrighty

Fab day at Great British Car Journey, getting behind the wheel of some BL classics - Rover SD1 Vitesse being the highlight!

Just tuning in after getting home from work. Can definitely tell that Sparke wrote this piece - little bits of A Tale as yet Untold and Dances and Alleluias popping out every now and then... #EBBC2024

Z-1920 - what a superb piece! #EBBC2024

Still embarrasses me to see people in my constituency of West Suffolk, still voting for the Tories. Especially given that up until recently, MATT HANCOCK of all people, was our MP. You couldn’t make it up… #Elections2024

A great day in Lincolnshire for the Festival of the Unexceptional. Top event! #FOTU

Nice to see it’s snowing in parts of the UK at the moment. No such problems in Yulara, Central Australia, however…

I actually think the UK's entry was a very clever bit of song writing (can't believe I'm admitting that I kind of like it). Reckon it's a bit too 'out there' for Eurovision though... #Eurovision2025
