Conductor from down under, based up over. Liked being an EUpean. A follow ≠ endorsement. That’s not a Twitter thing, it’s just what other musicians say to me 😉

Happy Halloween! Kids got lots of sweets. I got the flu jab. Being a grownup sucks sometimes. #Halloween

Eating a vegan choc brownie of which the bulk is not made of flour but rather…wait for it…black beans. It’s actual rather good. #VeganBrownie

My 18 month old son is laughing at his own farts this afternoon. That’s about as much fun as Rishi Sunak could hope to have on a day like today too. #GeneralElection2024 #RishiSunak

there’s a lot of reverent writing on Beethoven 9 now and so here’s my take 1st mvmt: slightly too austere 2nd: amazing 120-proof old style ludwig 3rd: 20 minutes??? 4th: an absolute hot mess but beyond delightful, perhaps the first canonic example of jumping the shark

A very sad day for UK arts today as our wonderful friends and colleagues at @E_N_O give their final performance before company-wide redundancies take effect tomorrow and cuts to @WelshNatOpera announced too. @ace_national and those responsible should be ashamed of themselves. 1/2

Been off Twitter for a while after a busy period of paternity care with child no.2. Looking to reacquaint; missed some of you. Also looking for new follows in music/arts. I got into Twitter as an angry remainer back then. Still angry, but I want to broaden my horizons a little.

I’m trying to stave off ‘Christmas eating’ for as long as possible, but there’s no denying it; the gingerbread house on the dining table has been slowly losing structural integrity for about 24 hours now.

Delightfully scathing.
Dominic Cummings@Dominic2306

delusion after delusion. this isn't 'bad spads/process', it's a PM full on living in a parallel world - he cannot accept he was wrong when he was told explicitly & repeatedly 'your policy cannot & won't work & it's a political disaster' - he's now pretending he's 'blocking' the courts when he very obviously is not & his policy/Bill very obviously leaves the ECHR/HRA framework in control he's so monumentally botched it he is BOTH *in breach of ECHR* AND leaving the ECHR *in actual control*! and BOTH roused the dominant Left network to smash him AND isn't seriously trying to solve the problem! so 100% on brand for establishment Tories, 'the grownups' as the IfG calls them he will not 'stop the boats', it's already game over for the fake rwanda gimmick & the PM has wasted 2022 & left himself no time there will be a useless attempt in 2024 to claim he's been 'sabotaged' by Lords/courts & 'this is what the election is about', they'll pathetically try to use Take Back Control, but it won't work tories doomed if they keep him & doomed if they spasm & fire him
