Well - look what’s arrived in the post! My first book, looking resplendent…

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

Look, I don't come on here very often, but I imagine you're all thinking of an excellent present for your loved ones. And I can think of none better than my book, Symphonies for the Soul: written in lockdown, still relevant every day of the year.

Why hasn’t John Rutter been knighted?

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

@susanhillwriter Which reminds me… Did you put your fiver on it?

Have to say that I’m thoroughly enjoying the @RCO_Updates’ new podcast. Sound quality, presenter (voice, manner and knowledge), editorial values, entertainment value - all top notch.

@liz_cunningham3 @BBCSounds Every time I think about it, I get a mini headache!

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

Hello @BBCSounds - your audio ident is so bass-heavy that it makes me feel queasy every time I hear it. Any chance of reducing the power of the lower frequencies a tad? My speakers aren’t too happy either…

@MoonPavilion @samaracello That was one a genuine superstition. He felt he couldn’t play unless he’d had his dinner of Dover sole the night before

@Clerkenwill Also love Bruna, partic his mano derecha stuff

@RevRichardColes You may be right - “locus iste” is sung with a short vowel…

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

@timecaptales @historyinmemes They’re not struggling - it’s just the least important thing to get right. A squiggle will always do

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

@RichardGowers @CMKSE20 I can’t tell you how much that resonates, Richard. I find i’m constantly reevaluating/updating supposedly happy memories of my school days - it’s upsetting and exhausting

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

@DrChrisMaxim All fine - wine was definitely not to blame

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

My advice to anyone travelling by train would be not to fall down between the train and the platform. It hurts.

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

@bibi_heal Bruises and an injured foot. Otherwise fine. Still wouldn’t recommend

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

Why are the vocals for Every Little Thing She Does is Magic so recessive? Hasn’t anyone attempted a new mix?

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

Well, this has cheered me up/brought a tear to my eye ⁦@RevRichardColes⁩ ⁦@KirkdaleBooks⁩

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

No mention of Gesualdo in the current issue of “Music and Murder”

[Oliver Condy @OliverCondy]

Best of luck to the wonderful lot at @Bristol_Beacon for their launch tonight. Can’t wait to see the fruits of their considerable labours later on
