“I’m at the point where it’s a passionate plea. For all the people who work in live entertainment up and down the country, please let us open.” - ALW @Telegraph

Choirs matter to so many people! Every part of the U.K. has now received a signature. This is having an impact on the mental well-being of hundreds of thousands of individuals @OliverDowden @DCMS. #ChoirsMatter

@abcdtweets @banksmusic @MakingMusic_UK @ProjGetSinging @ISM_music @RSCMCentre @SamEvansLondon @Voicedoctor_uk Umm ABCD - going on with Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2 in less than an hour - any idea what that sentence about limits not applying to activity for work / commercial means? Fancy a quick chat?!

@banksmusic @MakingMusic_UK @ProjGetSinging @ISM_music @RSCMCentre @SamEvansLondon @Voicedoctor_uk Thank you for this @banksmusic!

Received a few moments ago ... @abcdtweets @MakingMusic_UK @ProjGetSinging @ISM_music @RSCMCentre @SamEvansLondon @Voicedoctor_uk

Looking forward to speaking to @theJeremyVine and @Voicedoctor_uk on @BBCRadio2 today at 1:30pm. The situation facing choirs in the UK is beyond ridiculous and it needs fixing. If you haven't already, please sign the petition! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5865…

This beautifully explains our situation. Where is the evidence? #singingmatters #choirmatters

@Voicedoctor_uk @OliverDowden @DCMS @DCMSArts The more times I read this the better it gets! We need that 'evidence'! @oliverdowden

I have written to @OliverDowden (@DCMS & @DCMSArts) to ask about the rationale for the restrictions placed on non-professional singing - the guidance states that only 6 singers can meet in an indoor space. We should see the evidence that has led to these tight strictures.

@Voicedoctor_uk @OliverDowden @DCMS @DCMSArts Declan. Thank you. This letter is worded superbly and exactly describes the ridiculous situation us choral directors find ourselves in. I'd really like my income back!! @OliverDowden please help us!

@OliverDowden @RobertJenrick @parkrunUK @DCMS Did you know choirs are INCREDIBLE for your mental and physical health! How about urging those lovely chaps to let us back indoors again 😉😘 Mental health is a top priority right now and we need to do all we can 💪 #singingmatters

I have written to the Leaders and Chief Executives of Councils in England with @RobertJenrick urging the return of @parkrunUK events. Sport and physical activity are vital to the nation’s mental and physical health.

@OliverDowden @RobertJenrick @parkrunUK @DCMS And what about choirs ? They are vital for mental health!

@OliverDowden @RobertJenrick @parkrunUK @DCMS Absolutely support you on this...and any progress for amateur choirs? Any chance that you will take an equally supportive stance in helping them to return safely, with all the intrinsic and extrinsic benefits of making music together? 🎹🎼🎤

@OliverDowden @RobertJenrick @parkrunUK @DCMS Splendid. Now how about turning your attention to amateur choirs. Singing has benefits too.

@OliverDowden @RobertJenrick @parkrunUK @DCMS @DCMS @MelJStride Just as it is to musical activities, including singing in the nation's 40,000 choirs and their 2.2 million singers. And, yes, it is a physical activity. #singingmatters

@OliverDowden @DCMS Excellent news. Now for the sake of musician’s mental health sort out the shambles you’ve made of singing restrictions, I’m at my wits end after 15 solid months of trying to justify my existence #singingmatters
