Northern Ireland is poorly served by public funding for the arts
Did you know that @ArtsCouncilNI gets just £5.07 per capita?
That's compared to £10.51 in Wales and £21.58 in the Republic of Ireland

Members at English National Opera have learned that the company plans to axe 19 posts & employ the remaining musicians on part time contracts
The union plans to reject the proposals & fight to keep our members at @E_N_O in full time jobs, on full time pay bit.ly/401jKHi

Solidarity with @WeAreTheMU in their fight to #KeepNorthernBalletLive
Arts Council England & Northern Ballet must find a funding solution to protect union jobs & enable everyone to have access to live ballet that's genuinely live.

Show your support for musicians in the Royal Opera House Orchestra!
🟡 They took a 10% pay cut to help the company during the Covid-19 pandemic when the #RoyalOperaHouse was closed
🟡 Now audiences are back, the orchestra should have their pay restored

We appreciate the financial situation but world-class ballet involves world-class musicians performing live. We need to work together to ensure you can keep doing what you do best, which includes our members’ performing in your ballets. Audiences deserve no less.

For something impressive, don't miss tonight's In Concert on @BBCRadio3. A pleasure to record @albancello. His playing of #Prokofiev's Sinfonia Concertante was mesmerising!
The @UlsterOrchestra’s season opener introduced by @johnnytoal at 7.30pm 👏👏

Thanks to cross-party MPs at our @CounMusicMakers dinner tonight, discussing where we are with music streaming. I explained why @WeAreTheMU members & all creators need a fair deal. Fairness on this will stand us in good stead for other big tech challenges like AI #FixStreaming

‼️ In too many places in Northern Ireland, there’s a real poverty of hope
💡But we can change that, for example through music
🎼That’s why today I met the Arts Council to discuss the Crescendo Project from Ulster Orchestra…
Rt Hon Steve Baker FRSA 🗽@SteveBakerFRSA
🎼 Fabulous to witness such brilliant musical talent from @UlsterOrchestra at Malvern Primary School in Belfast today, supported by @ZonesQUB! 🎵 The Crescendo Project delivers workshops to over 1000 children across 4 primary schools in Colin and Shankill, enriching life through culture here in NI 👏

Once Upon A Time in Northern Ireland is a stunning documentary. If there's a better film about the Troubles, I haven't seen it. Painstaking archive research, finding outstanding interviewees, brilliant questions, and empathy without glib moral relativism.

Please sign and retweet this and if you live in Lewisham please write to your MP @vickyfoxcroft about it. This is absolute madness… especially considering the amount of musicians who live in this borough. This is our livelihood

Brilliant speech from the MU Acting Organiser of the Scotland and Northern Ireland Region @SamDunkleyMusic at the Equity Rally against the cuts to arts funding in Northern Ireland.
If implemented, these cuts could be devastating!
