Most excellent….

Apols for the name drops, but I feel so lucky to have worked at Aldeburgh in the 90s and to have known people like Stueart, Olly, Marion, Donald, Rosamund and Rita - all links to Britten that have now gone. RIP Stueart - loveliest of people, and so kind.

Consort singers! Come alone or bring your consort of voices, and work on this glorious rep! Do click through to the link, it’s beautiful (and I pass the courtyard in the picture on my way to the shops - lucky me).

Sail out till you lose sight of land. Then sink the boat. D’you hear? Sink her.

Major diary fail this morning and I’d put in the wrong Sunday for playing the organ. It’s a very good job we live so close - bed to console in 7 minutes!

This will make you laugh (I hope!) If it’s true the folks at the Spectator wi be feeling justifiably sheepish today…

I get told frequently by Conservative MPs that the public aren’t bothered about private companies running NHS services and making a profit. I don’t think this is correct. If you would like profit-making to be removed from the NHS, pls RT. Let’s see!

Really looking forward to this! Not too late to book your place - hit me up and I may be able to sort out a deal :-)

Truly fabulous concert at Saffron Hall tonight with Jamie Barton and Jake Heggie. Amazing programme focussing on the power of music that had us in tears as well as smiles. Thank you so much!

Fantastic afternoon of events celebrating Morecombe and Wise at the new Eric Morecombe Centre in Harpenden, curated by Tommy Pearson. What a stellar line up of guests - funny, informative and jovial in equal measure. And the Des O’Connor clip made me weep with laughter!

Happy May Day! Lovely to celebrate the dawn with morris dancing at Wandlebury this morning. Here’s to a lovely summer…

Interesting thread Ms Grumpytrousers - we must go and visit soon!

A lovely start to the day!

Wot no tambourines in the Gardner? #9LC

I love my timeline today when I can’t tell if the tweets about a lovely, generous and kind performer are talking about James Bowman or Paul O’Grady

A powerful piece!

If you know, you know… Very excited!

Gosh this Berlioz is absolutely fantastic. If it had ended there, after act 2, it would have been a fantastic experience but we’ve still got 3 acts to go! #BBCproms

So apparently I’ve been on Twitter for 15 years! I remember creating the account when I went to SXSW that year - seems like a lifetime ago in tech terms…
