If anyone is keen to attend tonight’s sold-out all-Ravel concert by Seong-Jin Cho at London’s Barbican, I’ve sadly just had to return my two tickets.

Tired of media nonsense about classical music being to 'chill out' to? Tonight's gig by Quatuor Danel of Shostakovich & his underrated Polish friend Weinberg was anything but. Diverse profound passions; not about tuning out. Check out their superb concert Wigmore Hall or YouTube



🚨🌱 The Chancellor is currently reviewing all public spending from scratch. Please join me in signing the Campaign for the Arts petition to remind the UK Government: the arts make our lives happier and our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them. campaignforthearts.org/petitions/spen…


Today Hampstead Heath Hampstead among the disappointingly few birds singing (mainly blackcaps, chiffchaffs & robins) I heard a Cetti’s warbler for the first time there. Any previous records? #londonbirds


For the rest of my life, I will never understand why Keir Starmer doesn’t call out the govt of Israel for using starvation as a weapon of war. Watch Channel 4 News, see those starving children. What is going on? Why can’t he massively condemn it? WHY NOT?
