Watching a documentary about Swedish composer Allan Pettersson. I really know how to make Saturday night go with a bang.
You can't beat the last train out of #Leeds after a night out! 🤪 A group of friends spotted this music teacher on Saturday's late train, and convinced him to play a tune 🎷 Mr Duffy nailed it - missing his own stop to keep the party going! Only on a @northernassist, right? 😏

I've been thinking about this all week. Of the country's instrumental music teachers, only 25% now work in state schools (54% in private). Even though 94% of kids are state educated. A generation of young people are being denied access to music-making. thetimes.co.uk/article/the-sc…

@CrossEyedPiano I should just point out, I don't have any beef with this year's Proms programme because .... I haven't seen it yet! I'm sure it's pretty darn good. My reason for sharing was just agreeing we ought to re-open 'mainstream' events and platforms to classical artists

The RFH is heaving with Wagner Weirdoes. They're a phenomenon. One WW just shuffled up to a kiosk on Level 4, blanked the charming salesperson, fingered all the produce, held up the queue, then walked away without a word. Only with Wagner.
