The details of what is happening in Music at Goldsmiths are brutal. As things stand they will lose a collaborative Leverhulme Doctoral College grant (7 funded PhDs) and an AHRC grant. Staff FTE reduced by 35%. Negative impacts on curriculum and pastoral care cannot be avoided.

Barbara K goes on to dissect the state of Music education and how music has disappeared from our schools. She notes the huge issues facing hubs eg funding. Barbara says the Labour team, Thangham and Keir and she really get it. A great speech warmly received @KeeleyMP #abo24

Given the amount of energy devoted to horizon scanning and new sexy courses based on expensive consultancy, it's a shame that this 'easy win' isn't being embraced: a simple reimagining that makes the most of the interdisciplinarity and research that universities should treasure

Very grateful for the support of @RoyalHistSoc on this and for their recognition that historical work can take place in different parts of a university.

There's nothing like blasting out a bit of #Zappa before bed! Always an uplifting way to remember Dad on his birthday. I can still hear him, headphones plugged into the stereo, shouting out inappropriate lyrics & going crazy to the guitar solos! I miss him everyday 🎸❤️

One of the many things I love about @SallymHawkins is that she can, at any moment, take a phrase in everyday conversation as a cue to launch into a dramatic reading of the lyrics from whichever of the millions of songs she has stored away back there
