Holiday time = sketching. A view of Boulangerie Grain, through the open window of our apartment in Bordeaux. Next stop Saint Jean de Luz.

Ruined brick build, ruined stone build, rock formations: Plage de Laftinea, St-Jean-de-Luz

Thank you to everyone at the #RMA150 conference, we hope you had a great conference and safe journey home. Special thank you to everyone who joined us in the British Library yesterday evening to celebrate our anniversary in style!

An early walk by the Severn in the Coalbrookdale Gorge, followed by a very stimulating symposium meeting of the literature and the industrial revolution network, @ahrcpress @IronbridgeGMT @English_Keele @KeeleHistory

@susanbruce409 @AmigoniDavid He will be pleased to know that his eyes are so striking!

Today on #InternationalDogDay Shambles ascended the Wrekin. Here he is on the way down again, resting at the Half Way House cafe! ⁦@BarbaraKelly8⁩

COMPOSITRICE DE LA SEMAINE! #Tailleferre Composer of the Week repeated this week @BBCRadio3 4-5 pm @KateMolleson @BarbaraKelly8 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Very proud to deliver the keynote lecture as the Macgeorge Visiting Speaker at the University of Melbourne. Looking forward to the symposium, Musical Nationbuilding and Cultural Exchange in Interwar France and Australia. ⁦@LeedsUniAHC⁩ ⁦@UniMelb⁩

@kavaemma @RMAFrenchMusic I love the both and couldn’t choose between them, so it is one vote each from me!

SOS call for @GoldsmithsUoL Leadership. The savings gained at end of July will be spent, and then some, by October. By then, it will have been cheaper to do nothing. It is illogical. Making big decisions in a panic never leads to good outcomes. A final call: please think again.

The details of what is happening in Music at Goldsmiths are brutal. As things stand they will lose a collaborative Leverhulme Doctoral College grant (7 funded PhDs) and an AHRC grant. Staff FTE reduced by 35%. Negative impacts on curriculum and pastoral care cannot be avoided.

Registration is now open for this year's RMA Annual Conference, 11-13 September at Senate House (University of London) and the British Library: rma.ac.uk/2024/07/04/reg…

It was poignant to be in Galway, where I have strong family connections. For decades they have talked about establishing a music department there. Thanks to Aidan Thomson, there is a thriving department now. It is a proud moment for Irish musicology on its 21st birthday.

It was an honour to give the keynote lecture at the plenary conference of the Society for Musicology in Ireland at the University of Galway! I was also delighted to be awarded Corresponding Membership of the society by the outgoing President, John O’Flynn.
