Believe the news. This is Faro airport just now. This is after baggage check in and security. This is passport control to enter international departure terminal. I came 3 hours before, and it’s still tight for time.

Bristol. A city that’s captured its asset of a riverside destination city. A city bustling with creativity, willing to take a risk and embrace its old architecture. Glasgow could learn a lot from this place. As a lone traveller this weekend, I felt safe. A top city!

Would love to see your reaction if it was pulled from day time TV. I’m grateful it’s still on regular TV channels. I thought Yannick brought a bit of flare and excitement to it this year. Apart from the BBC Proms, what else like this is on regular TV. It’s a great thing.
Like the Eurovision Song Contest, the Vienna Phil New Years Day concert is beyond parody, too big to derail

Another Male Voice Choir bites the dust in Scotland. Another one is about to fold and Lanarkshire Male Voice Festival folded last year.
What can we do about this? @MakingMusic_UK @MakingMusic_SC @CreativeScots

Peterborough Cathedral is "in crisis", it said today
Set to run out of money by Easter, its Dean told me
May have to close its doors on some days and become first part-time cathedral - needs £300k by March
This teddy in the transept seemed particularly downcast about it...

Stirling Council proposed £250,000 cut of funding to music services. If approved by councillors, this would be the end of sixty years of instrumental and vocal teaching in schools. @Nicola_Meighan @Europa_Music @CreateStirling @Stirling_News

It’s not a fear, it’s happened, and is happening across Scotland. Enough is enough @EISUnion

An inspirational day at @abcdtweets conference. Great to hear about the fabulous research going on with @UniRdg_UV and @NYCOScotland. Huge thank you to @neilcpferris for taking time to work with me on my technique. Ended the day with the Amazing Cabaret.

Costs associated with school trips can be anxiety inducing for families living on low incomes. Often children and young people who are experiencing poverty will feign lack of interest in a trip simply because they know that their families will struggle to afford the cost. #CPW24
