"brotherhood between music and imagery". an astonishing, magical and timeless creative partnership.

Perhaps my favourite trailer of all time. Still seeing it for the first time at the Empire Leicester Sq thinking to myself I've never heard of " Enchanted Garden" and "A view From the Shore" - this is obviously the next great epic and then.... https://t.co/S4gCrMrztS

Watched an amazing doc on Ronnie Scott’s last night full of incredible footage . So many special performances but especially liked Van Morrison’s version of “send in the clowns accompanied by Chet Baker. Thanks for recommendation @bougourd_dan https://t.co/1zeyMlCIdB

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

Brilliant to see! Well done indeed to Melvin Benn and everyone at @FRfestivals and everyone at @DCMS to make the impossible, possible.

[Caroline Dinenage MP @cj_dinenage]

This is what live music feels like 💕 Thanks to the ERP team, @FRfestivals & the great city of Liverpool for delivering a fantastic event in #SeftonPark with @BlossomsBand this evening. All part of our efforts to bring live events back safely. #seftonparkpilot @DCMS

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

Belated thanks to all, to @UK_Music , @jnjokugoodwin @Tomkiehl @MusicforDemUK @Grace_Meadows_. It’s not often you take part in a roundtable where everyone is so determined to make a difference for altruistic reasons. It was a privilege and I hope progress will be made.

[UK Music @UK_Music]

Thank you to those that participated in @DCMS @DHSCgovuk roundtable this morning on the role music can play in health and well-being & improving care for those with dementia & neurological conditions. Moving experiences shared, lots of great work going on. More to do!

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

Great to read the outcome of more hard work by everyone at @dcms and the events Research program team.Thanks to @LiveMusic_UK @FRfestivals @UK_Music @culturelpool https://t.co/ghx2xnUhgQ

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

And I'd like to add that this digital booklet should be plastered on every music industry trade body, record label, publisher website!

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

Another important initiative brought to you by @DCMS and @The_IPO summarising the basics of music copyright to everyone from artists to industry execs & policy makers. I hope creators in particular swot up so that they can claim what's rightfully theirs. @UK_Music @CMU

[Caroline Dinenage MP @cj_dinenage]

Great to see the publication of 'Music Copyright Explained', the free user-friendly guide commissioned by @The_IPO. It's important creators understand how copyright works and it's great to see positive reactions across the music industry.

Months of work worth every penny. The impossible made possible thanks to the likes of @musicvenuetrust @ClaireMN_Music everyone else at @ace_national, Paul Reed @AIF_UK @UK_Music and all my amazing colleagues at @DCMS

Great news! More #CultureRecoveryFund recipients announced today! £400M to help more than 2700 arts, heritage & culture organisations across England to reopen safely this summer! 🌻🎭#DCMS #HereForCulture https://t.co/V1XMMcxiSt

@NickdeSemlyen Yes, but Nastassja Kinski is in it too!

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

Well done @alexbaranowski for the music & to the highly talented EP @Eleanor96609366 (who's also my far better half) in bringing to our screens this holocaust story with a refreshingly and courageous positive lens. It gives some of us perspective and hope in this current climate.

[Alex Baranowski @alexbaranowski]

Incredibly happy & honoured that #TheWindermereChildren has won Best European TV Movie of the Year.. it was such a special film to score and it means so much that it has been recognised in this way. Putting the kettle on to celebrate.

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

@CafedelMar_Ibz vols 1,2,3 were compilations, so beautifully put together by #JosePadilla . These albums accompanied me throughout my uni days and I still listen to them now. They are so good that when you listen to them, you almost think they are from one artist. Farewell Jose

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

Such a positive outcome for cultural sector and live music. My thanks to @ClaireMN_Music @ace_national @markdavyd @musicvenuetrust @AIF_UK,@UK_Music & all my colleagues @DCMS. Hard to say the #CulturalRecoveryFund isn't real life proof of #HereForCulture. https://t.co/hJQ6ZZnSpo

[Ariel Sommer @Ariel_synch2it]

I think mine is Van Halen’s 1984. I don’t claim it to be the best album ever nor my favourite but it was the first album I ever bought (on cassette), and now 26 years later the music world mourns the loss of another great musician. #NationalAlbumDay
