Classical music IS often elitist & exclusionary. But this is very different – skilled, sensitive, young musicians bringing a highly engaging & sociable musical genre that’s rarely heard outside expensive concerts to public libraries in normal opening hours. Worth supporting.

A warning for those keen to hand the NHS to corporate vultures. Profiteering caused substantial increase in patient infections, falls and adverse events. Private equity controlled hospitals lead to poorer health outcomes, higher costs for society. nih.gov/news-events/ni…

@JennyAThatcher This is the story of everyday life in our increasingly struggling public services. Yet I don't hear this being acknowledged, let alone meaningfully addressed, in any election rhetoric. Surely this should be a driving source of national shame, anger, and action?

Britain’s schools and primary health services are “staggering” under the pressure of demand caused by an epidemic of extreme poverty, as desperate families unable to afford food, clothing or heating increasingly turn to them for crisis help. theguardian.com/society/articl…

"Scrapping the two-child limit is one of the most effective ways of lifting children out of poverty”, WBG's director tells @guardian. "There are voices from across the political spectrum, the churches, anti-poverty organisations, women’s organisations, all making the same point.”

Excited for two packed days on breath, music and music therapy at the Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, Poland, and thrilled that a group of @nordoffrobbins Masters students from the UK has come with me. Great opening keynote from @breath_Guy on breathwork RCTs.

🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution live with a chronic health condition or disability. Cutting people’s eligibility for benefits won't help. The PM's speech was an irresponsible war of words on people who already aren’t getting enough support. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi….

Really devastating news. I was SO incredibly lucky to grow up in Birmingham’s rich cultural scene. The arts opportunities as a child are 100% the reason I’m a musician now. Devastated for friends working in Brum and the future artists that could’ve been.
Samuel West 💙💛@exitthelemming

Birmingham, Britain’s second city, will cut arts funding 100% for @TheCBSO, @BirminghamRep, @BRB and @BirminghamOpera, plus many others. These sacrifice makes no sense. Cultural organisations are drivers of tourism and growth itv.com/news/central/2…
