What a day May 23rd 2026. A season of 99% excruciating tension and 1% '2001' Stargate ecstasy.. #Arsenal#ArsenalChampions@Arsenal from watching Liam Brady to Adams, Rocastle & Wright, to Viera & Petit, Bergkamp & Henry now Raya, Rice, Saliba & Saka!
A joy to hear #Janacek 's wonderous score for #TheMakropulosCase played and sung brilliantly for the first time at the Royal Opera London @rbo_org. Bravo conductor #JakubHrůša , soprano #AusrineStundyte singers and players one and all. And what a score it is!
About this afternoon....superb Ravel piano concertos played back to back by @AliceSaraOtt and @chicagosymphony Bravo!
What an incredible acoustic space Chicago Symphony Hall is....
About tonight....Fantastic music making: Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth @bbcproms for the first time in nearly two decades. Bravo @BBCPhilharmonic@E_N_O@BBCSingers and incredible cast of soloists, all conducted by @johnstorgards 👏 👏 👏 What a score....DSCH
...about tonight. Didn't think I'd make it. @beck and the @BBCCO certainly did @RoyalAlbertHall just fantastic music making. And #Beck played most of 2002's glorious 'Sea Change' album. Bravo!
...about last night....the blistering intensity of music making by @KamasiW#KamasiWashington at @O2AcademyBrix 13 April 2025. With his superb band of musicians (his father Rickey on soprano sax)
Going above and beyond....Bravo!
In the latest issue of Private Eye (thanks to a friend for sharing) - "So farewell then, Science in Action..." Wishing I could tell EJ Thribb that reports of the programme's demise are premature, but that may depend on support from outside the BBC. ☹️
#Janacek#BrnoJanacek2024 a thrill tonight seeing the 100th anniversary performance of #TheCunningLittleVixen in the Czech Republic. Touching, beautiful singing, playing & staging. Bravo! Leos Janacek's score is a 100 year old miracle. Befittingly the Vixen cut the birthday cake
Something my Dad sadly never got to see - a Galway win against Dublin in Championship football. Only 90 years - 1934- since the last One. #UpGalway#TheWestIsAwake#GaillimhAbu
“Forget about Taylor Swift, Shake it off at the Aviva, and come over here to Croke Park! Sweet Mother of Jesus” 🤣🙏🏻🎉
Galway 0-17
Dublin 0-16

Today would have been the 100th birthday of the greatest comedian who ever lived. I will be celebrating with a bowl of Harpers, some Grimsby Pilchards and the newly discovered Visit to Swansea. #TonyHancock
It most certainly is - lost since May 1955- Hancock's Half Hour - A Visit to Swansea....
From 5pm @BBCRadio4Extra

Happy 100th birthday Mr Hancock!
Tony Hancock at 100!
Just 44 years old when he died in 1968, his comedic legacy still brings joy decades on.
BBC Radio 4 Extra have a rediscovered episode of Hancock's Half Hour on tonight - I've heard it, and it's a lovely find!

Today we celebrate Hancock's centenary. Born #OTD 12 May 1924, Hancock rose through the ranks of stage and radio to become Britain's top comedian, famous for Hancock's Half on radio from 1954 and later on TV. He left a wonderful legacy of laughter for us to enjoy #Hancock100
