I have a new friend. He's very large and extremely loud but keeping me cool. If you need me, just shout. Literally.

Have a read of the blog all about the Bristol Beacon Tour that little old me organised (with help from some wonderful colleagues and OneStage Specialist Concert Tours) bristolbeacon.org/blog/bristol-b… Bristol Beacon Creative Learning 🎶

So my colleagues are the best ♥ this lovely thank you box has appeared on my desk for all the work I've done for the Tour 🥲☺️ Bristol Beacon

Not sure you could squeeze any more musicians on this stage... Bristol's talented young musicians joined us for our Primary Orchestra workshop today, bringing students from schools across the city together to experience playing in a full orchestra. Sounding fantastic! 👏👏

Hi O2, just want to flag that it's not half term everywhere this week - Wales doesn't have half term until next week, so this offer is (once again) redundant to anyone in Wales...

Absolutely amazing performance of Annie this evening by Bassaleg Music and Drama! You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves - this alumni certainly is! ♥ Headteacher@BassalegSchool @BassalegSchool1

As lessons, groups and ensembles have now paused for the winter break, we're looking back to our winter concerts. Our Sparks groups, including our Brass Sparks who are all new to playing with others, blew audiences away with some festive favourites!🎺

What a way to end the Christmas term - 2 sold out concerts at Tyntesfield with Bristol Youth Choir! And what a stunning venue too! Bristol Beacon Bristol Beacon Creative Learning

I'm having so much fun today! 🎶 Thank you so much to EFDSS for being with us and giving our young musicians the opportunity to be creative!

Try something new this weekend. Be more like Spiderman. Play the tuba. #MakeSpaceForMusic 📷 Giulia Spadafora

Oh dear. The government didn't think about the Welsh pronunciation for that emergency alert did they... 👀 #emergencyalert

Testing the natural acoustics of Lantern Hall with some alt. versions of Gwen Stefani and Shakira with Alternative Classical. It’s sounding lush 👌

Breaking music news!🎺 We have been appointed the Arts Council England Hub Lead Organisation for the South West, in partnership with WEMA. Thanks to public funding, we will continue to deliver music education for young people across the South West. Read more: bit.ly/3ybkzn2

Bore da Trafnidiaeth Cymru / Transport for Wales. How on earth can this much of a delay be allowed? Looking at Real Train Times, the train that forms this journey hasn't even left Cardiff yet on its journey up to Ebbw Vale. When you rely heavily on the train being on time for work, this is ridiculous.

Insane scenes on the 11:25 Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail from NBE-CDF. Train completely full once pax got on at NBE meaning no one could get on at CKY onwards. Not sure why Trafnidiaeth Cymru / Transport for Wales think 2 carriages at peak Saturday travel time is safe/acceptable. I'd be late for work if I hadn't squeezed on
