Shocked to find that I've been awarded a DYCP grant from @ace_national to write my opera, Orchard Street! 💚 Can't quite believe it. Thinking of all those who got the 'other projects preferred' - I've been there and it's horrible.

@michael_cryne Totally. Great exercise.

The power of music! If this had a plinky plunky jolly soundtrack it would hit very differently. I mean, yes, it would still be kind of depressing, but... in a comical way?

“If they protest in a way that gets noticed, they go to jail” - @mrjamesob cuts through with clarity & truth.
Complicity in the politics of “don’t look up” is hastening ever greater #climate breakdown - we can’t say we didn’t know

This detailed report moves beyond our old slavery ports to show how provincial England & red brick universities connect to the transatlantic slavery economy. In #Nottingham, cotton, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, banking & slavery networks= key to this story

“I want to lobby for the return to free music tuition for every child as a birthright.” @ErrollynWallen tells @TheVoiceNews whilst talking about her career and appointment as Master of the King’s Music.

Anyone I know going to the Ivors Classical Awards? 👋

@thejoranger I feel like Bluesky is only just getting started in this area, but the more of us that head over, the better! Seem to be a lot of game devs :)

@RebTamas Phew for Rhys Darby! Can confirm from my time as an extra that Celia Imrie is as lovely as you'd expect.

[Emma Butterworth @ButterwrthMusic]

Very much enjoying the ott operatic score to the Rivals.

@thewittjones @aardman My 4yo is both a Wallace and Grommit fan AND an organ lover. He's going to go nuts over this 😆

Worried I’ll be overwhelmed here, but if you identify as female and are actively trying to pursue a career in comedy as a producer or director, and want to join a small group of women I mentor, pls wave.

As as Brit, one of the weirdest things about watching American decluttering videos on YouTube is seeing them put half full bottles of liquids/oils/condiments straight in a rubbish bag.
