Anyone enjoying the ravishingly-shot new Netflix #Amadeus romp who fancies a quick fact-cleanse on that final year of Mozart's life could do worse than check out this doc we made from 23 yrs (!) ago youtu.be/XhwgL3MGuaw?...

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up. A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

Warmest composerly wishes to Peter Butterfield and the Victoria Philharmonic Choir performing my ETERNAL LIGHT: A REQUIEM tomorrow at United Commons (Quadra at Balmoral) Victoria, BC, Canada 🙏

It turns out that a song of mine (NICE VIDEO, SHAME ABOUT THE SONG) is an actual exhibit in this. Am v chuffed, as I definitely wasn't anywhere near as cool as any of the folk involved in all this at the time. Or now. Blitz: the club that shaped the 80s - Design Museum share.google/TG9DKSFXk51p...

The world's most brilliant, secretly influential (& unsung) bassoonist. Fantastic article.👇👇👇

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

#BlueLights is so beautifully written, directed, acted, with such integrity & care, truly a privilege to watch. Each series fresh highlights & character depth: this time Katherine Devlin & Dearbháile McKinney absolutely heartbreaking in every scene. 👏👏👏

not going to push that pic of Farage at LBC into your feeds again, but I'll note two things: first, the whole paracetamol nonsense is profoundly misogynistic. It blames women for their children's autism, and doesn't give a shit about why women might take paracetamol.

Ms Webster of Newcastle is a ⭐ a story about singing, solidarity & compassion 👇👇👇

Very sad to hear of the death of Sylvia Young, a hugely enthusiastic and motivating stage school founder/director who was so kind and supportive to me (& thousands of others) in the early part of my theatre career. RIP

RIP the great, great Brian Wilson. Thank you for your mercurial brilliance, your innovative genius and those glorious songs 🙏

Sam Fender at the London stadium last night best arena gig I've seen since Prince at Earl's Court in June 1992. Encore 'Remember my Name' with Easington Colliery Band profoundly moving. Wor canny chanter's playing Newcastle Manchester Edinburgh this summer though tix are scarce. Unforgettable 👏

So it's ok to kill our world class music industry but not ok to 'kill' the can't-work-without-theft AI industry? Incredible to think Clegg was once the UK's deputy prime minister.
