🌈 We’re thrilled to be among so many LGBTQ shows @teteateteopera! One of them is Fierce Love, on 2 Sep. It vividly captures the vibrant nightlife, determined AIDS activism, and enduring queer love of 1990s London. @jimWarboy #LGBTQMusic #TàTFest2023

Created by Warboy & Stewart, directed by Scottee" Underneath - "a compelling work-in-progress opera that vividly captures the vibrant nightlife, determined AIDS activism, and enduring queer love of 1990s London."

Thank you @RobertHugill for this preview of @teteateteopera and in particularly for mentioning our production of Dring's 'Cupboard Love' - we were wondering who might have heard it in '83 and we'd love to hear from anyone else who did! planethugill.com/2023/07/bac

Imagine events such as the Coronation, the Queen's funeral and last night of the Proms having no professional singers. These events are integral in demonstrating how amazing the UK music scene is to the entire world. Disgraceful. change.org/p/stop-the-planne

With the BBC's typically acute timing, tonight for #IWD2023 you can enjoy the BBC Singers, a day after the group were all fired. "The BBC Singers perform more music by women composers than any other group in the world." bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001jlq
