Believe the news. This is Faro airport just now. This is after baggage check in and security. This is passport control to enter international departure terminal. I came 3 hours before, and it’s still tight for time. @SimonCalder @Ryanair @easyJet @jet2tweets

Bristol. A city that’s captured its asset of a riverside destination city. A city bustling with creativity, willing to take a risk and embrace its old architecture. Glasgow could learn a lot from this place. As a lone traveller this weekend, I felt safe. A top city!

Cheers @JeremyClarkson - @LiviFCOfficial hospitality!! When are you coming to watch us play 😎🦁? #livilions

Going to be a great night. Looking forward to working with Hamilton Caledonian Male Voice Choir wegottickets.com/event/690280 #falkirk #grangemouth

@davidhconductor Also, although not linked to church music - Peterborough Sings released this piece of research in 2023. Makes for eye watering reading. We do need to do more to protect, showcase and inspire MV singing in all capacities static1.squarespace.com/static/6001f43…

It’s important we take this seriously and Dan Hyde has said what many think but are not prepared to say.

@davidhconductor Thanks for sharing. As someone who directs a male voice choir and has witnessed two Male Voice Choirs (one youth) and a male voice festival disappear within the last two years, we need this. As far as I’m aware, it’s the only MV choir on TV. I’m glad he has stood up and said this

Would love to see your reaction if it was pulled from day time TV. I’m grateful it’s still on regular TV channels. I thought Yannick brought a bit of flare and excitement to it this year. Apart from the BBC Proms, what else like this is on regular TV. It’s a great thing.

We're back in @stlukesglasgow this Thursday evening! Tickets are available from TicketWeb: bit.ly/4mO3pAI

Another Male Voice Choir bites the dust in Scotland. Another one is about to fold and Lanarkshire Male Voice Festival folded last year. What can we do about this? @MakingMusic_UK @MakingMusic_SC @CreativeScots

Looking forward to conducting the guys in a few weeks time.

Sunday morning done right. Looking forward to this

Peterborough Cathedral is "in crisis", it said today Set to run out of money by Easter, its Dean told me May have to close its doors on some days and become first part-time cathedral - needs £300k by March This teddy in the transept seemed particularly downcast about it...

Please sign chng.it/KDH2WWTB6c Stirling Council proposed £250,000 cut of funding to music services. If approved by councillors, this would be the end of sixty years of instrumental and vocal teaching in schools. @Nicola_Meighan @Europa_Music @CreateStirling @Stirling_News

It’s not a fear, it’s happened, and is happening across Scotland. Enough is enough @EISUnion

A state school music department at it’s very finest

Probably one of the best things I’ve watched this year. Outstanding. Cinematography, Music, the style - just beautiful. This deserves an Oscar @NatGeo

Delighted to be representing EventOs at the @nordoffrobbins @Specsavers Scottish Music Awards in the Glasgow Barrowlands For more information about EventOs - visit thisiseventos.co.uk

An inspirational day at @abcdtweets conference. Great to hear about the fabulous research going on with @UniRdg_UV and @NYCOScotland. Huge thank you to @neilcpferris for taking time to work with me on my technique. Ended the day with the Amazing Cabaret.

A great concert tonight with the Hamilton Caley Male Voice Choir. Now jumping on the sleeper and heading to @abcdtweets conference. Can’t wait.

Costs associated with school trips can be anxiety inducing for families living on low incomes. Often children and young people who are experiencing poverty will feign lack of interest in a trip simply because they know that their families will struggle to afford the cost. #CPW24
