@stephenm68 I just cannot abide Arteta and would be so happy, like you, if they win nothing. 14 years ago was different circumstances - this time I’d cheer you on

@JQGl @batonflipper @BBCPhilharmonic @ChandosRecords @ArthurBlissSoc @MusicWebInt The first complete 'Metamorphic Variations' is exquisite! The BBC Philharmonic under Seal delivers Bliss's vision perfectly.

[Michael Seal @batonflipper]

A very nice review indeed - well worth a read. Thank you, John

[John Quinn @JQGl]

An important, excellent release of orchestral music by Bliss from @batonflipper @BBCPhilharmonic @ChandosRecords @ArthurBlissSoc My review for @MusicWebInt is at https://t.co/0aQ4iDMl4V

[Stephen Maddock @stephenm68]

Congratulations to all 80+ members of @BirmCons Symphony Orchestra for a thrilling concert with @batonflipper tonight! Tower & Copland Fanfares for the Un/Common Wo/Man, Torke’s Mojave played by the fabulous @jordashmanperc & Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances. So much energy!

[Michael Seal @batonflipper]

@FPLPriceChanges I’ve risked two already to avoid inevitable price rises which would have priced me out - Saka and Timber need to avoid getting clattered tonight!

[Michael Seal @batonflipper]

@stephenm68 I know, but only because we discussed it yesterday! It’s quite a connection

[Michael Seal @batonflipper]

@LizClements @SinfoniaBham Thank you - very kind and hopefully helpful for ticket sales

[Michael Seal @batonflipper]

This will be a superb concert - brilliant orchestra (@SinfoniaBham) with a great soloist and a wonderful local venue. Please repost this @LizClements for our local friends.

@diorpollo Classical musician - sorry for not being specific. The league is called UK classical musicians- my bad!

[Michael Seal @batonflipper]

FPL PLAYERS - if you are a musician, pro or amateur, current or lapsed, who plays FPL and wants to join a mini-league of other UK musicians, send me a DM. You can join for free or join the paid league for £20 and have the chance to win prizes weekly, monthly and overall.

[Michael Seal @batonflipper]

@diorpollo Not unless you are a musician.

[Michael Seal @batonflipper]

A brilliant win for @Woodbourne_CC today against Moreton in Marsh - chased down 213 for three wickets with overs to spare. After two wickets last week in my first game, I opened and kept it tight so even at my age, I can still bowl and contribute
