Another record breaking @bbcproms season, and you can relive unmissable moments from across the festival here on @BBCSounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0lqg…
Just announced: a record-breaking season for the @bbcproms 🥳 🎶 bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2026/b…
Very sad to hear about Dolly Parton. I had the true honour of meeting her and shooting some ads with her in Nashville and she was an absolute pro and hilarious with it. Such a talent and personality who leaves an incredible legacy behind her.

40 years ago I was a trainee reporter at @BBCSheffield.
4 decades later, I’m back in the city to host Music and the Mind for @BBCSounds at @crossedwires_
I’d love to tell that young, anxious me - it’s ok - it’ll all work out.
Tickets free btw

Tonight on @BBCRadio3, from sunset till sunrise: Midsummer Dreaming, with nine hours of special programmes marking the summer solstice. And from 9am tomorrow, @drsarahwalker broadcasts live from Glastonbury Abbey, with live music from @TheAyoubSisters. bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0nrmcc…
Really encouraging to see such a strong set of RAJAR results across @BBCRadio3 including our first numbers for #Radio3Unwind. An impressive start with 388k weekly listeners tuning in. Listen to music to unwind your mind on DAB+ and on @BBCSounds here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/b…?
Lovely numbers for @BBCRadio3 today. Audience increases to 2.1m, Radio 3 Unwind debuts with nearly 400,000 listeners, Breakfast grows again, and over 16m hours are spent listening to the main station each week (up from c.14m last quarter). All the work of a brilliant team 🎶🎉

Thrilled that we can finally share this news. The BBC is launching a major new music education initiative, designed to inspire a generation of young people to Get Singing. And the creative powerhouse that is @jacobcollier is our Ambassador: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwn…
He’s back. The king of chills with a haunting, choral infused first track. Spellbinding @jamesblake

Rosalia lands LUX and now @labrinth opens his new cosmic opera. #Classical is the future.
Excited to release a brand new series of #ultimatecalm fronted by the Scottish composer #ErlandCooper. A truly intimate 12 episodes starting tonight at 9pm on #BBCRadio3Unwind, exploring all aspects of nature and music. You can hear it on @bbcsounds now bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002lb…
To say I’m pumped for this new classical-infused album from #Rosalia would be a wild understatement. First track lands today at 4pm 👀

Throughout this year's festival, we've been asking the stars of the BBC Proms about the piece of music that helps them find focus in a busy world.
Hear more on Fridays on Radio 3 Unwind, as @sianwilliams100 presents Peaceful Proms Mornings. You can also hear a special selection of music from the Proms over the years. Listen from 9am on Radio 3 Unwind, or afterwards on @BBCSounds.
Nervy but important three points for Pompey at Oxford today. Had to keep a lid on things amongst the Oxford fans but thanks for the thumbs up at the final whistle @eric_eisner. Great to see you there for the game. PUP
