Scary Friday caveat: If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane, The fire will burn thee to the bare bane! 🔥👿☝️ So proud of this collaboration with the awesome @marianconsort . Those voices! 🥰
Spooky vibes this Friday morning 🕯️
We asked @StefConner to arrange 'The Lyke Wake Dirge' for us, an ancient English folk song that tells of the soul's journey to purgatory, and here it is in all its foot-stomping glory.

THANK YOU @Clinique_UK @Clinique for having the sensitivity to give your subscribers the option to opt out of Mother's Day-related communications. ❤️💔 I hope everyone does this soon.
I live for simple pleasures… like squeezing my easy-to-manoeuvre little car into tight parking spaces next to SUVs parked on the line, so that the drivers have no choice but to climb into their car across the passenger side. ☺️😇 #gasguzzler #SUV #yummymummy #passiveaggressive
Wow! A Composition Lectureship! I thought these were extinct. Maybe QUB reanimated one from DNA preserved in amber... jobs.ac.uk/job/DFM096/lectur…

This year we heard new pieces from @EdwinHillier @marinoarcaro @robinhaigh1 @robert_crehan @aaaaglrr @LithaEfthymiou and returning works from @christianljdrew @StefConner whose pieces will be performed by us live in concert next April.
I wouldn’t normally think of myself as a railway station coffee kiosk enthusiast… but after a long, tiring journey, thanks to engineering works and all the usual 💩, this comic relief from @puccinos has made me a pretty committed fan!
