Truly a night to remember at the #SCMF24. A gorgeous programme of Fauré, Ravel and Poulenc, and an opportunity to collaborate with the remarkable @RGCWbaritone. @crucibletheatre Playhouse packed to the rafters! @MusicintheRound

Hi @lufthansa - it’s been 2 months since you confirmed I was due compensation & requested my bank details, but have ignored every single email since. Any recommendations about what I do next?

Don't let your preloved warm winter coats gather dust. Instead, donate them to WrapUp London and bring smiles to those in need. Whether it's children, women, men, babies, or even four-legged pals, there's someone who needs the extra warmth. ❄️🧥🤝 #WrapUpLondon #SpreadWarmth

What happens when two comedians conduct an orchestra? Chaos 😅
@robbeckettcomic and Romesh Ranganathan joined us for a sold-out performance at the @southbankcentre…it was definitely memorable 🤣 Watch it on @RobAndRomeshVs tomorrow on @SkyTV at 9pm.

As an actual bassoonist in the @LPOrchestra, this sketch was spot on

This year’s 45 minute long John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme arrives today on Radio 4 at 2:45, and on BBC Sounds after that. (I’m planning to do one a year from now on)
It’s a return to the style of series 1-8, rather than s9, but I hope to revisit those characters elsewhere.

The threat of a yellow card doesn’t stop players diving, fouling or abusing referees but it has stopped them showing solidarity with those who are threatened with death for being in love. What an absolute fucking farce.

Wheezing through two final days of recording with the #enbphilharmonic before maternity leave, which thanks to a legal loophole @ENBallet don’t have to and therefore won’t pay me for, despite me having been an employee for seven years.
