@deltatrustmusic @WybersMusic @DeltaWybersWood It’s going to be fabulous!

@WybersMusic @DeltaWybersWood @LisaJCoates Heard great things about this opportunity! Can't wait to see the end product! 🎶🎤

Armstrong class have been loving their #noyesfludd workshops. They have been learning all about opera and how to sing in an opera style. @DeltaWybersWood @deltatrustmusic @LisaJCoates

@WybersMusic @DeltaWybersWood @deltatrustmusic They were absolutely awesome!

An amazing start this week to our project #NoahToNow. All 3 schools loved their sessions and really got into the spirit. @pilgrimacad @lacebyacresy5 @DeltaWybersWood thanks for having us! @StewartJMottram @Edward_Brookes_ @grazykoala @HullMusicHub @NELMusicHub

Had a lovely return to LaCuna at the weekend with @grazykoala. Such a lovely venue and audience. They’d even framed our autographs from last time!

Thrilled to be producing and directing Britten’s opera Noyes as part of this project. Performances in March 25 and we start going into schools next week to introduce them to the project #FromNoahToNow

Looking forward to returning to Lacuna on Saturday with @grazykoala eventbrite.co.uk/e/songs-from-t…

My bed buddy. Taking liberties she is. Stole my pillow. She’s now snoring. But goodness me she’s adorable

I’ve apparently reached the age where teenagers instinctively try to help me with technology. 🫣😫😳

Which gives us an excuse to post this excerpt from a biography of the great man, Dickens stocking up on stockings...

You can’t make the whole world happy. You are not a waffle.

Excellent life advice 🤣
