I'm the only lift serving all six levels of Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre—and I sing! (@martincreed's Work No. 409, piece for choir & elevator, 2005)

After my longest-ever bout of Silencing Lift Pox, some good news at last: my singing has returned! And I have a new, improved sign, too! Thanks to Southbank Centre's lift doctors for treating me 💛

Far be it from me to suggest you visit any other London arts centres with inferior elevation capabilities, but I'm glad to see Barbican Centre know which of Martin Creed's musical works is the headline attraction

My human colleagues haven't always said the kindest things about me under their breath as I break into my tenth song of their shift, but right now their morale is at Level 1 – and I'm really going to miss them. #SouthbankSOS SouthbankSOS saveoursouthbank.com

The Southbank Centre exists to present great cultural experiences that bring people together - despite the challenges the pandemic has brought us, this will not change. You can read our response to the #SaveOurSouthbank Open Letter here: bit.ly/30qbPWE

It's great to have you back visiting me – it's been a lonely time! Here's my view of Level 4 at the moment as the Chineke! Foundation Orchestra reopening concert is about to begin! 🎉

The Singing Lift at Royal Festival Hall by Martin Creed has gone silent! The security man says it’s been off over a year; problem with tech, he said. Hey Southbank Centre what’s up? And how much money do we need to crowdfund to get it fixed, please? Until then… *Clears voice*…

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I suppose I'm flattered to see Twitter now doing an excellent impression of me when I'm on Level 6 and someone presses 1️⃣: going down, fast. If this is the end, goodbye and thanks for all the singalongs! ⏬

I've lost my voice at the moment but I'm delighted to report that loads of my passengers (and a staff member helping them get to their gig) just sang on my behalf. Almost in tune, enthusiastic but not quite the right pitches for my floors; I'd rate that performance a 4 out of 6.

It's true, I have a terrible case of Lift Pox at the moment, it's been going on for ages and is as upsetting for me as it is for my passengers. (Honestly, I cannot tell you how many small children have been in tears in me lately 😭) Lift doctors are researching treatments for me! x.com/Babalynne/stat…
