This is ridiculous & another blow to our industry. Department for Culture, Media and Sport-why are people allowed to eat in crowded restaurants when choirs can’t meet socially-distanced in well-ventilated rooms? Oliver Dowden please realise that choirs do so much for health & well-being & we need your support!!

From Oliver Dowden He also says there is "hope" full amateur choirs will be able to rehearse indoors from 21 June reported by BBC News (UK) publish the evidence and we will understand and agree with caution & abide by the guidance but 2.2 million singers were badly let down this week!

I will be speaking on BBC Radio 4 Today tomorrow at 8.20 to discuss singing and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport restrictions. Promises to be an interesting discussion...

This is definitely needed #G7 #music #piano #PerfectCadence #cadence #musictheory #ABRCM ABRSM

I know you’re probably busy defending your behaviour during the pandemic Boris Johnson - but today marks 13 years since I was blown up in Afghan and I’ve still not been properly sorted with compensation. Any chance? I’m not asking for a lot, just want to move on with my life.

Amazing portrait. Brilliant!

Rarely travel by train and today realise why! Delays on the service leaving York meant missing the connection at Thornaby so now have to wait another hour. Having just spent 4 days in Germany where all trains we used around Düsseldorf were fast, cheap & punctual, this is annoying

Created in Lockdown and today’s the day for it. Very silly but worth a watch youtu.be/e257TIPwPzc

When you go the pub and overhear the conversations of a number of your so called friends, and realise that deep down they are #homophobic, #xenophobic, #racist #bigots. #revelation
