@liamsims @demontforthall @uniofleicester Thank you so much! It’s lovely to know that the music made such a positive contribution to your day. Congratulations on your PhD.

Privileged to have been playing the @demontforthall organ for the @uniofleicester grads this week. Always a pleasure!
The organ is a real jewel for the city. It also makes an incredible backdrop to this photo (c) @uniofleicester of Lord Vallance who received an honorary degree.

Lovely to pop into a chair-free nave ⁦@York_Minster⁩ today on the way home from Northumberland. A brief, but enjoyable visit to a favourite place.

“Brexit” did not save lives through the covid vaccine roll out . Let’s get this totally clear- we could develop and buy the vaccine within the EU.

@RJSYork These ‘snap shots’ of a different age are always fascinating aided by contemporary recollections. Interesting to note the pairing of composers’ music across the services of the day and which pieces remain in popular use today.

@MichaelSadgrove @OurCofELike Which tune? I’ve grown rather fond of Chorus Angelorum in recent years.
