A fabulous musician who effortlessly guided us all English National Opera through Die Soldaten back in the 90’s. I listened endlessly as a kid to his remarkable arrangement of Pictures at an exhibition for the Philip Jones Ensemble (bootleg cassette of the proms!) RIP

This is where even modest support for smaller venues can really help underpin the live music circuit - we’ve lost too many in recent years #livemusic

Creators can hardly be expected to scour the entire internet, opting out of their content being used - it should be the other way around, with creators giving permission when they choose to. Government needs to rethink this urgently. #AI #musiccommunity

Brilliant concert at Brighton by Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra and chorus, Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast. Composed at a time of rising global tension, it’s about a brutal, imbecilic, touchy, lascivious, vain, bragging, greedy tyrant who gets his comeuppance after a banquet with his cronies.

"Our artists give us a soft power which is the envy of the world and we cannot do anything that threatens that." MP Pete Wishart makes a strong case against the Government's opt-out AI proposal, which leaves creators at risk of having their work stolen by AI companies.

The government need to change tack on this or they will cause further damage to an industry already firefighting after years of neglect #ukmusic
