@psverm @rugbyontnt @EnglandRugby @SquidgeRugby I ended up doing OfCom complaint ofcomlive.my.salesforce-sites.com/formentry/Site…

@DavidTaylor_uk @rugbyontnt @EnglandRugby @SquidgeRugby Spot on 🙏

Is @rugbyontnt really going allow Austin Healey to advocate for violence in a society overrun with GBV and one desperately trying to protect player welfare? @EnglandRugby - this clown commentates on your behalf #RugbyWelfare #ConcussionLawsuit

@andysefton @AppleSupport Had the same problem. Found this on this reddit thread which worked for me: "Disconnect from all wifi and hotspot new phone using your old phone if you don’t have an eSIM version and it should work" reddit.com/r/ios/comments…

@AppleSupport just been delivered my new iPhone 17 pro. I cant install it as when i get to the apple account page and put in my email and password I get Verification Failed an unknown error occurred. I went on to my pc to check my icloud login and password and it worked fine. UK.

No longer on X/Twitter, so you can now find me: Website: david-taylor.org LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/davidtaylor… Insta: instagram.com/davidtaylor_uk Facebook: facebook.com/davidtaylorUK/

And not surprisingly, this will be my last proper post on X/Twitter

"Arts organisations continuing to use X/Twitter are choosing to ignore their EDI commitments, and support a company that thrives on, monetises, encourages, and disseminates hate. It’s time for arts organisations to quit X/Twitter" david-taylor.org/blog/its-time-…

@ScalaRadio That's not Alexandra Dariescu...

I'm now regularly getting people emailing me thinking I'm @DavidTaylor85, MP for Hemel Hempstead... this could be a long Parliament 😂 (I keep passing on your correct email David)

@connolly_lg Both yes and no. You have to be a paid subscriber to RAJAR to access that level of data, so I don't have access to it. The radio stations do tho, which is why you see CFM do posts like this so you can kind of piece it together twitter.com/ClassicFM/stat…

BBC Radio 3’s audience slips as Classic FM’s troubles continue, according to new figures released today • BBC Radio 3 audience down 8.1% • Classic FM records 2nd lowest audience since figures began Read more 👇 #RAJAR david-taylor.org/blog/classical…

@jessicaduchen @groodendorst @hugh_canning Very jealous you're going to the Busoni! It looks like it will be incredible

@groodendorst @hugh_canning @DavidTaylor_uk They're no more 'diluted' than usual. I went to an Anna Clyne world premiere plus Messiaen's Turangalîla the other night and am hearing the Busoni Piano Concerto on Monday.

@groodendorst @jessicaduchen @hugh_canning "though patrons were asked to refrain from striking matches during the vocal numbers" 😂😂

@groodendorst @jessicaduchen @hugh_canning The Proms was always intended to"present the widest range of music, performed to the highest standards, to large audiences" from the beginning. Mixed serious 1st halves with lighter 2nd halves You could eat, drink, and even smoke in the first proms 😂 bbc.co.uk/programmes/art…

Happy Yorkshire Day! Pretty certain this gem by Eric Fenby should be the official anthem now As well as being Delius' amanuensis, Scarborough born Fenby was also a composer in his own right, even writing the soundtrack to Hitchcock's film Jamaica Inn youtube.com/watch?v=fMw1bE…

@groodendorst It does correlate with that time, but R3 usually fluctuates between 1.7 & 2.2 mil Although it's 8.1% down on March 24, its also 3.1% up on the quarter before that, Dec 23. As R3 usually does this wiggle, would need more time to see what the trend is. Hard to tell atm

@DavidTaylor_uk Well! There's a surprise. Could it be something to do with Sam Jackson, new schedules, constant mind-numbing trailers and the general Classic-fm-ication of Radio 3?

@NaomiLWood @BBCRadio3 Good point with schedule! It does correlate with that time, but R3 usually fluctuates between 1.7 & 2.2 mil Although it's 8.1% down on March 24, its also 3.1% up on the quarter before that, Dec 23. As R3 usually does this wiggle, would need more time to see what the trend is

@DavidTaylor_uk @BBCRadio3 down probably happened when the schedule changed. Does the drop correlate with that time? Also the inane adverts which spoil the programme flow.

BBC Radio 3 isn’t exactly famous for being at the cutting edge of social media. However, under the radar this month, BBC Radio 3 has deleted its Instagram account entirely… and it’s more confusing than you think... david-taylor.org/blog/bbc-radio…

If you want to hear more about it, we'll be talking about it at the @ACSOtweets conference next week. If you don't happen to be in San Francisco, you can drop me a message 😉 Looking forward to sharing how it all goes over the next year! #DelightedToAnnounce 😉 /7

This allows orchestras to connect to audiences on at scale & give musicians the tools they need to thrive in the digital age It's the first time it will have been tried in the USA & I can't wait to see what the results are & what lessons we can learn & share with the industry /6

A little bit of news. I am beyond excited to be working with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra (@slso) next year on something special... 🧵 /1
