Brilliant evening at #STEAMhouse last night, celebrating the official unveiling of 'Lip-sync' by artist Holly Hendry. @hendry_holly
Holly gave a fascinating talk about what inspired 'Lip-sync' guiding a rapt audience through the inception and development of this beautiful piece.
Congratulations to Professor David Mba, announced as the incoming Vice Chancellor @MyBCU - it will be a huge wrench to retire from this unique university in October, but I'm delighted to leave it in such safe hands for the next stage of its journey.
Birmingham City University is delighted to announce the appointment of Professor David Mba as its new Vice-Chancellor.
Professor Mba has pledged to put the student experience at the centre of ambitious plans for 2030 and beyond.

Such a pleasure to be @vocebooks this evening to listen to one of my absolute heroes @mjohnharrison who I started reading in the now distant 1970s and whose writing continued to be assured, elusive and thoroughly wonderful.
“I’m not surprised in the slightest with the findings," said Dr Khawaja. "When we set up the South Asian Cricket Academy, we knew there were inequalities that needed addressing. What the ECB has found at national level, we had found locally."
Wonderful evening @MyBCU @BirmCons with the Maestro @Shankar_Live accepting an Honorary Degree - made all the more special by the company of his brothers in music @jmcl_gtr and @ZakirHtabla. Extraordinary and very moving.
Textiles student Madelaine Atkinson's "The Uncovered Secret Sin", a collection of embroidered fabrics modelled on Catholic iconography, is one of many student works on display at our Inspired Festival.

@Amanda_Vickery The writing is as good as you say (and so good to see this noted when LD seems a bit forgotten) but the first five minutes of the film, from HP’s bedsit to the bedraggled London streets, is immediately evocative of time and place.
@Amanda_Vickery The wonderful exchange with the patronising Pike brothers.
“Ha ha,' said Ralph. 'Arma virumque cano.' He turned to me and said, 'Of arms and the man I sing. Virgil.'
I said, 'Adeo in teneris consuescere multum est. As the twig is bent the tree inclines. Also Virgil.' 1/2
1. I am worried too many events were cancelled. 2. I'm worried not enough events were cancelled (Prevent duties?) 3. I'm worried that I am setting up a significant additional infrastructure to monitor the issue? 2/3
