I’ve enjoyed SO many great programmes on BBC4, the music! The history! The art!

@Hedgehogboots Hi Hayley. Sorry but it’s completely out of my hands. Suggest you let the National Museum know of your disappointment. When I know it’ll be on display I’ll let you know. Happy Birthday to your mum.
Yesterday at @thejazzcentreuk unveiling of mum’s picture. We had a lovely day. What a fab place. Hats off to Digby Fairweather and Gwen for organising. My Ann’s piano in the background.
Thank you to all those who attended our Dankworth Dynasty day! @jacquidankworth and Charlie Wood were fantastic. Duncan Shoosmith’s #portrait of Dame #CleoLaine now hangs within our centre. If you haven’t had the chance to see the painting it is an #artwork not to be missed!
@d__shoo@SkyArts Fantastic thanks for letting me know. Very impressive shots of Sir Tom on it. While I’m here I thought all your paintings were very good, your Cleo Laine was my favourite and my fiancée @MissBadgerHoney loved your Laura Linney.
@d__shoo Many congratulations on winning Portrait Artist of the Year 2019
The portrait you did of Cleo Lane was magnificent too and should be hung in The National Portrait Gallery.
