Truly a night to remember at the #SCMF24. A gorgeous programme of Fauré, Ravel and Poulenc, and an opportunity to collaborate with the remarkable @RGCWbaritone. @crucibletheatre Playhouse packed to the rafters! @MusicintheRound

Exciting news! 🎉

@lufthansa @lufthansa please can you respond to my previous message? Members of my group received their compensation weeks ago - where is mine? Please provide me with a contact number if you cannot deal with this issue as this is totally unacceptable

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

Hi @lufthansa - it’s been 2 months since you confirmed I was due compensation & requested my bank details, but have ignored every single email since. Any recommendations about what I do next?

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

@lufthansa It’s been over 4 weeks since my details were submitted and much longer since I was confirmed to receive this money. How do I take this case further?

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

@VictoriaSHRobey @LPOrchestra Congrats! 👏🏼

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

festive family dip 🥶

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

@lufthansa Me again. I sent my bank details and still haven’t heard anything. I’m unsure I was sent the correct form - can you check if it’s been received & if not, send me the correct feedback link?

[London Philharmonic Orchestra @LPOrchestra]

Don't let your preloved warm winter coats gather dust. Instead, donate them to WrapUp London and bring smiles to those in need. Whether it's children, women, men, babies, or even four-legged pals, there's someone who needs the extra warmth. ❄️🧥🤝 #WrapUpLondon #SpreadWarmth

The Academy bassoon students are busy preparing something mega with @JonyD1 for @BDRSoc day Sunday 29th Oct….
🇸🇪

[Fraser. @frasercontra]

Calling oboes, bassoons, cors anglais & contras for what will be an excellent day at the Academy in October 🎶

Join us for some Double Reed-ery 🤩

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

@sarah_bassoon Cute!!

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

…maybe not the worst we’ve had to follow? 😅 Tune in tomorrow for a giggle

[London Philharmonic Orchestra @LPOrchestra]

What happens when two comedians conduct an orchestra? Chaos 😅

@robbeckettcomic and Romesh Ranganathan joined us for a sold-out performance at the @southbankcentre…it was definitely memorable 🤣 Watch it on @RobAndRomeshVs tomorrow on @SkyTV at 9pm.

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

@JohnFinnemore @LPOrchestra an eerie similarity from my first conversation with my non-musician partner 😂 Thankfully I don’t own 4 bassoons though…

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

As an actual bassoonist in the @LPOrchestra, this sketch was spot on

[John Finnemore @JohnFinnemore]

This year’s 45 minute long John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme arrives today on Radio 4 at 2:45, and on BBC Sounds after that. (I’m planning to do one a year from now on)
It’s a return to the style of series 1-8, rather than s9, but I hope to revisit those characters elsewhere.

[Jonathan Davies @JonyD1]

@JoannaWyld @LPOrchestra So good, thanks! 😂
