@stephenkeeler Do they audition locals for the part? Your time may yet come.

@ruth71500499 @BBCRadio3 @PetrocTrelawny Bravo to everyone involved in planning and delivering that programme. London Pride and the closing Serenade to Music were particularly poignant. Good to hear that music will still be made at Maida Vale after the BBC have moved out.

@stephenkeeler I’ve just heard my least favourite trail again and realise that I misquoted “every time I hear this track I just start breathing slower”; obviously I was too occupied with venting my wrath to give it the attention it didn’t deserve.

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@stephenkeeler It’s the “makes me breathe easier” trail for R3 Unwind which has the opposite effect on me as I shout at the radio “MORE EASILY!”

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@PetrocTrelawny Superb concert. Encore was 👌

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@andrewCDmcg @BBCRadio3 Loved the new albums from the guitarist and gamba/harpsichord. Hope to hear more from these on R3 this week. 🤞

@ruthiehelen3 @bbcproms @BBCRadio3 A great bookshop! Few and far between up here. But Ullapool has three - at the last count.

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@PetrocTrelawny Jean Rondeau and Lodestar in the same programme: I’m in heaven!

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@BBCRadio3 @PetrocTrelawny Much as I loathe the too-frequent trails on R3, thank you for giving the heads up on these lovely Essays during In Tune last week. I’ve always thought GR spoke a lot of sense and I greatly enjoyed revisiting my lifetime of radio listening with her.

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Still remember Peter Moore as a young lad, winning BBC Young Musician! Gorgeous playing. What an advocate for the trombone. 👌

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 @TenebraeChoir And lovely Purcell just now. I have fond memories of playing that at university with friends, one of whom went on to become a studio manager on Radio 3!

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Great to have you back in the In Tune studio and with such eloquent guests. 👌

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@stephenkeeler @BBCRadio3 Good point.

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@stephenkeeler @LeeG810 I also went, with a couple of girlfriends, to see VW perform at the RAH in 1993. I’ve never been more relieved when it was time for the interval: all my muscles needed a break from laughing.

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 I love the way that your word pictures are being enhanced by these photos - and by the music, of course! So much prep and hard work has gone into these broadcasts. Thank you to everyone involved.

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 This is bliss: a Petroc walkabout on a Saturday morning while I tackle the NYTimes puzzle selection. But that sore throat sounds painful - and a broadcaster’s nightmare; I hope it soon calms down.

[Jo Tucker @jktjsb]

@HWpath Thank you for the wonderful photos keeping me in touch with the county of my childhood and the many visits to the Wall.

@tom_mckinney @BBCRadio3 Favourite CPE Bach 👌🙏🏻
