Saw @AverageWhiteBnd last night at @Rock_City_Notts. Great venue, fantastic band. Sorry to say goodbye to them but the two founding members are almost 79… And yes, they did finish with this. #funk #soul #pickupthepieces

A month today until the start of @NevillHoltFest. An eclectic line-up: #Mozart and @thejasonbyrne #jasonbyrne together at a unique venue on the #Rutland #Leicestershire border. Plus #Vivaldi
@JalenNgonda #jalenngonda @RachelSJohnson #racheljohnson and…@philtufnell #philtufnell
Reception at Nevill Holt last night, hosted by David Ross, for supporters of @NevillHoltFest - happening across June. Opera, jazz, art, authors. Great to have it on our doorstep.

Extraordinary evening seeing @DBtodomundo @THSBBirmingham last night. Deconstructs and reinvents the rock band stage format. Clever, moving, brilliant. See him once before you die!#onceinalifetime – at Aldwincle, England

Dinner at @italdesign, centre of the car design universe, founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro who gave me this sketch of his first car, the Chevy Testudo. More parmigiana. More beef. More Barolo. In Turin, location for The Italian Job. Well, it’s a sort of life. #ANECongress – at Moncalieri, Piemonte

Nice to see traditional colour and trim crafts alongside all the talk of virtualisation at @italdesign #ANECONGRESS #cardesign #designthinking – at Moncalieri, Piemonte
Very interesting chat just now with Lapo Eckmann, boss of @GarageItaliaC and grandson of Gianni Agnelli, after his terrific session on the #ANECONGRESS stage. Very non-corporate style but his vision makes a lot of sense. The carmakers would love to be able to speak so freely. – at Moncalieri, Piemonte

Bumped into Fabrizio Giugiaro before the #ANEStars dinner at the #ANECongress. Interesting dynamic, given he and his dad Giorgetto were bought out of @italdesign, Congress host, by @VWGroup in 2010 with little love lost. And that Giorgetto reinvented VW with the mk1 Golf... – at Turin, Piedmont
#ANEStars event at #ANECongress being held at the MAUTO national motor museum in Turin. Some lovely stuff there. Note that Corbusier wooden concept from 1928, two years earlier than the Lancia alongside it. Amazing. Da Vinci would have been proud. #TRAutoNewsCongress – at Turin, Piedmont

Interesting tour of Italdesign HQ today as part of #AUTONEWSCONGRESS with colleagues from Thomson Reuters
#TRAutoNewsCongress. Good to see in its 50th year that Italdesign is building non-VW Group business. The Zerouno is its showcase. – at Turin, Piedmont

How come it’s cheaper to fly #BritishAirways Club including check-in bags and lounge than to go economy with bags added on (and no lounge)? Not complaining - just sayin’... – at Crawley, South East
Looking forward to this week's #ANECONGRESS Automotive News Europe Congress in Turin. Excited to be there with Thomson Reuters, sponsors of the event. Come and see TR Automotive Practice Group Business Director @VOumeddourTR and her team at our booth #TRAutoNewsCongress
