@SimoninSuffolk Assuming you haven’t done do already, will you be visiting St Wulstan’s Church and the grave of Edward Elgar? saint-wulstans.org.uk/the-elgar-grav…

Well, Great Malvern is splendid and Malvern Prory church is splendid.

@pitchblacksteed Water biscuit called Nigel who escaped the packet however was unfortunately dropped outside of the Scott Antarctic base and is now harder than Stockhousen to play on the euphonium

I’m bringing back a popular feature on the page today: #MadeUpBlackadder. First up: give me a made up #Blackadder phrase to complete the following sentence… “I’m as cold as a…” As usual, will RT the best efforts.

@StuartMillson @andrewCDmcg @BBCRadio3 @ElgarLondon @ElgarFestival @ArcheryPromos @HilaryConductor @RSStGeorge @PetrocTrelawny Oh yes - don’t forget Parry’s wonderful England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Ideal listening for the 23rd April… @andrewCDmcg @BBCRadio3 @ElgarLondon @ElgarFestival @ArcheryPromos @HilaryConductor @robertflute @RSStGeorge @PetrocTrelawny

@PlusTovell Thanks - Walton 2 - so underrated and RVW 9 yes please 👍

@robertflute You're welcome. Walton 2 and RVW 9 are possibilities for me

On an initial viewing a somewhat underwhelming set of concerts. No Tippett, or Arnold, or Rubbra, or Bax: some of the great British symphonists of the last century. Not much Debussy, Shostakovich or Prokofiev. I’m sure I’ll find something, but not exactly spoilt for choice.

@VWFndn His finest symphony … in my opinion - I love it closely followed by 9 and 6

"I don’t know if I like it, but it’s what I meant" - Ralph Vaughan Williams

@pitchblacksteed I use A plan so cunning you could call it a weasel but add Bernard or Cecil to make it my own

To many of us, #Blackadder is part of every day parlance. Which phrases from the show do you use yourself and when you do you use them? Example: When someone offers me a cup of tea, I say: "Yes, immediately!" You get the idea. Will RT the best ones.

@pitchblacksteed I am frasmotic even compunctious to have caused you such pericombulation

@deemcox32 Dave assisted with washing today 😹

Wash and sorted already this morning but I find it weird being washed by someone who has the most offensive body/underarm odour I have encountered for a very long time!

Morning! Join us @BBCRadio3 9.30 for Scandinavian Cello School to start, Frank Bridge’s The Sea 🌊 Lesley Garrett sings The sun whose rays from The Mikado & in the Playlister: John Barry’s Space Capsule from You Only Die Twice 📻🎹❤️👌

It has to be an evening of Boult - on this the anniversary of his birth in 1889
