I’m all for festivals in Brockwell Park - I enjoy them - but I am NOT for felling 44 trees just to accommodate the festivals. Some of the trees are mature and have nesting birds. @lambeth_council why is this allowed? @BrockwellParkCP

😍🍾😍 Well, that was EPIC. Just about coming back down to earth after 2024 @LeedsLieder Festival, without doubt my favourite to date. Amazing to connect with such diverse audiences in concert halls, nightclubs, a Sikh centre, schools and with the 10,000s who watched online 🍾

With thanks to @easyJet who have overbooked our flight to Geneva for final family holiday with a terminally ill grandparent and are giving us no other options. Apparently it’s ‘policy to overbook a budget airline’ Flights £1800 for family of 4. Expensive transfer waiting too.

Introducing Cécile Chaminade, whose father thought that attending a music conservatoire was improper for a woman of her status. She proved him wrong. Time to get to know this delightful French composer: apple.co/Chaminade

LOOK at this photo. I’ve never seen a photo of children looking so bored by classical music 🤣🤣🤣 Hurrah for @PhilBoxWilcox and his incredible team who go into schools across Leeds and inspire the kids.
