Word of the Day is ‘fudgelling’ (18th century: pretending to be extremely busy whilst not doing very much at all.

@BDR_Andy @bonfireradicals Haha! We love how bonkers it is. The chickens are modelled on Pete’s own chickens too 🐔

[Michelle Holloway @MH_Recorder]

@BDR_Andy @bonfireradicals Thank you! So glad you like it!

Have you seen our silly video that Emma made to celebrate the release of Sarah’s Muffins as a single?!

[Bonfire Radicals @bonfireradicals]

Chickens and muffins - they go together perfectly right?!

New single out now!

Oh the annoying cyclical mess that is trying to get support for #AuDHD… i must choose & make decisions to find the right person to work with… but i have no executive function & freeze when making decisions so can’t find that person 🤦‍♀️

@JonWilksMusic Yeah… I don’t really have any words…

[Michelle Holloway @MH_Recorder]

….. this is absolutely devastating for Birmingham…

[Ashley Beauchamp @ashbeauchamp]

Devastating news from Birmingham City Council with colossal budget cuts incoming. Arts organisations including CBSO, B'ham REP Theatre, B'ham Royal Ballet & B'Ham Opera Company set to have 50% funding cut this year, then 100% (!) funding cut next year. Absolutely criminal. (🧵)

[Michelle Holloway @MH_Recorder]

@NMcAteerCM @ace_national This is terrifying

[Michelle Holloway @MH_Recorder]

And the final offering for our week of @SFE_MS City Music Festival….

My incredible students playing Beethoven’s 5th symphony!

Learnt in 4 lessons, and only one short rehearsal to put it all together 🎶

What an achievement, happy half term everyone!

#SFECMF

[Michelle Holloway @MH_Recorder]

Really enjoyed teaching this piece to my students. Lots of new notes and rhythms covered! 🎶
