I’m in my final few weeks at Huntington and so I hand over the @huntschoolmusic Twitter/X baton to my esteemed colleague Tim Burnage. I’m off on a new adventure.

Yesterday our old school, Huntington School, performed a brilliant version of Disco Down at their end-of-year arts concert. It’s not just that they sounded incredible…it was where it happened.
That same assembly room where, aged 11, Rick and I saw our first ever live band.

See you tonight… if you’ve got a ticket that is…. The event has now sold out. With 350 students taking part and a capacity audience of 600 it would be great if you could walk, cycle, roller-skate, bus or car-share to the event.
