Early morning listening - it’s the Tokyo Music Hour: mixcloud.com/newratio/monoc…

@damianjokeeffe @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 All his pieces have been!

Thanks @PetrocTrelawny and @BBCRadio3 …that Jeff Beal Nocturne was exquisite!

@Troyvisitor @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 @PrestoShop Nice work!

@MySuffolkForay @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 @PrestoShop Now have an autographed copy!

Apologies to @PetrocTrelawny but we're leaving @BBCRadio3 In Tune early, to hear Roderick Williams and William Vann at @PrestoShop, re the launch of their new album "Rise Heart". (Hope it might feature on a future programme!)

@WestmorlandLady @Troyvisitor @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 @PrestoShop The delights of Leamington Spa!

@Troyvisitor @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 @PrestoShop Is this in London?

@DaveWishingsky Whereas what we really needed was this: thefieldrecordist.bandcamp.com/track/dishwash… 😂

The bloody trout again!

@Troyvisitor @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Great start to today’s programme!

Greetings to @PetrocTrelawny and the @BBCRadio3 In Tune Team. Enjoying memories of Manchester while listening to Cordelia Williams. We’re leaving early for a Literary Society meeting so will catch up later.

@BBCRadio3 what is the album of the week? I missed @tom_mckinney giving out the details and it’s not on bbc sounds yet. I know it entailed Jonas Kaufman Thanks!

@Troyvisitor @tom_mckinney @BBCRadio3 A nice way to spend Monday morning (instead of on charity accounts 😆)! Savouring Earl Grey & Bach on harpsichord!

Good morning to @tom_mckinney and @BBCRadio3 Breakfasters. Hope everyone had a good weekend. A busy week ahead for us, starting with a meeting of our retired staff association this morning, followed by lunch. Savouring coffee and music first.

Ready for you to resume petting….. #chihuahua

@readswithravi The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Murakami, mostly read on the stalls floor in the Albert Hall during one Proms season.

Have you ever read a book by an author that was so good it made you want to read everything else they've written?

@sylawinget The Sky is the Limit - Shloime Gertner

If you see this tweet please reply the last song you listened to. I’m making a playlist

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Great to hear King Arthur too - a great memory from @BrittenPears 2025!

good to have Urban String Quartet on In Tune ⁦@BBCRadio3⁩

@ruth71500499 @LorraineToal @PetrocTrelawny Processing out the trauma. It actually happened too many times irl. Chefs (and waiting staff) are too fickle.

@MySuffolkForay @LorraineToal @PetrocTrelawny Anxiety dreams about work seem common. But chef not turning up is a bad one!

Oh Petroc.......those anxiety dreams......'worry dreams' I call them!! Such a relief when you wake up. Mine vary between being back at work and can't cope, or arriving late to a hockey / tennis match and not having any kit 😳😂 @PetrocTrelawny

Tonight’s read….

@ruth71500499 @LorraineToal @PetrocTrelawny And I’ve been caught in many catering disasters during sleep - like the chefs don’t turn up (which happened at a wedding irl).

@LorraineToal @PetrocTrelawny Mine used to (for many years after I retired) relate to problems giving anaesthetics and struggling to cope. Thankfully so long ago since I worked that they’ve now stopped!

@Troyvisitor @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 I’m just catching that amazing start now…..

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 What an amazing start to the programme. It blew away a lot of cobwebs! Thanks to them and to you.

@ForrestMark @BBCRadio3 He’s a keeper.

@ForrestMark @BBCRadio3

Friday morning stroll with the girls then to the BBC studios in Leeds for Bach’s vibrant and celebratory Magnificat and Rachmaninov’s expansive and emotional Second Symphony. Classical Live ⁦@BBCRadio3⁩ 1pm-4pm
