Last week saw the start of 'Orchestra Unpacked' in Dewsbury. Over the next few months pupils from 5 primary schools will learn about the orchestra. They'll then attend their first concert at Dewsbury Town Hall as part of Kirklees Year of Music 2023. #TakingTheLead #LevellingUp

The sectors being ratfucked the hardest - pubs, venues, arts and culture - are the only things which make living on this cursed island bearable.

Ok so years ago me and my mate Jess @MadeInChinaThtr wanted to do a project where we deleted all creativity from a town so we could really show what life would be like without art ... RISHI just stole my idea BUT FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY

Here is the link to the pre-print paper. It is still awaiting peer review, so may be subject to revision. chemrxiv.org/articles/prepri…

Thread A pre-print (before peer review) of the PERFORM trial will be published tomorrow morning. This trial was set up to look at the amount of aerosol produced when breathing, speaking, shouting and singing, in order to provide further information about the risks of singing.

No kids gloves or received notions in it. Only purity of vision, clarity of intention, ego left at the door. Drama that makes the world feel bigger, not just in who it represents but in dragging humaneness back to truth in a post-truth, clout-led landscape. More, forever, please.
This is crucial. Beautifully communicated @SimoneJIB @E_N_O @GrandDevilishly

I fell in love with this song (and others) by lovely @ErrollynWallen a few years ago. Congrats @SimoneJIB you absolute STAR and to @E_N_O for supporting this crucial work.

Let’s get back to work by doing the science promptly & not just assume Singers breathe on people for a living! We need to look at this thoroughly: most Opera Singers control the escape of air by balancing breath to create tone which would barely blow out a candle in most cases.
