Fabulous evening with @HuntSchoolMusic @HuntingtonYork at their #LiveLounge event. Not only showcasing exceptional talent, but making a plea for funding to run GCSE and A'Level music. @GillianKeegan it is time music, art, drama and dance were valued. #MusicForAll

Word of the evening is the Finnish invention ‘hyppytyynytyydytys’: the act of falling with a contented sigh onto the nearest available sofa.
Literal translation: ‘bouncy cushion satisfaction’.

NEW LETTER:
The chief conductors of *ALL* the European radio choirs are uniting against the planned closure of the @BBCSingers!
We urge those responsible @BBC to reconsider. This world-class choir must be at the centre of any new strategy for choral music.

of mental health but some times needs must. This is a truly awful governing party with awful instincts becoming all too clear. Reinstate Lineker and reinstate the Singers 3/3

It was inevitable. The song is a mess, like the situation the BBC has found itself in. But this one's dedicated to all the dudes showing solidarity with @GaryLineker on @BBCMOTD. ⚽️🎶

If Latvia (pop. < 2 million) can support a thriving full-time professional chamber choir of 24 singers, is it too much to ask that in Britain (pop. ±70 million) our national broadcaster should be able to support the 18 members of the BBC Singers? JR
