Incredible night with @StornowayBand at the Sheldonian Theatre. Farewell Appalachia was stunning as always. Huge shout-outs to Charlotte and Adam (grade 8 axe-player) though who play incredible numbers of instruments.

Looking forward to the Beyonder concert in the Sheldonian Theatre starting shortly with @StornowayBand

What an experience to sing here with this group! ❤️

Practising Josephine by @StornowayBand before we join the scratch choir and Stornoway at the Sheldonian Theatre on Sunday! Got our two boys and and even got them to not sing "Throw me down the stairs now ..." 😅

[Midas Gordon-Farleigh @MidasGF]

@StornowayBand Can't wait for Sunday! We got our 8-year-old singing Brian's part to Josephine so my wife and I can practice our parts! (Sorry — no recordings of my kids on social media though.) And the 6-year-old has just been singing Josephine. We're ALL Stornoway fans in this house!

[Midas Gordon-Farleigh @MidasGF]

Unbelievably excited to be seeing @StornowayBand again and singing in the scratch choir with my wife for Beyonder! It'll be our 15th anniversary! What a treat!

I wonder why this might be ... 😂 #choir

We've only just had a concert where we performed Handel's Dixit Dominus to mark 25 years of @Mikethetrumpet leading Cantamus Chamber Choir ... and we're straight into rehearsals for Christmas! Never a dull moment! Here's the next date for your diary ... #choral #concerts

Looking forward to our concert THIS SUNDAY in Bradford on Avon at 4pm, featuring Bernstein's Chichester Psalms (which has been really fun to sing, by the way)
Come along and have a listen – get your tickets on the door #choral #concerts

As I’m enjoying gigs from the other side, Brad Mehldau and Gloucester Choral yesterday with Snarky Puppy and Cassie Kinoshi coming up it’s reminded me how super it is to relax and listen to others…..SO NEXT SUNDAY 4pm, super programme with @CantamusWilts

[Midas Gordon-Farleigh @MidasGF]

Spent most the evening listening to / practicing Bernstein's Psalms. It's definitely growing on me. Thanks @Mikethetrumpet !

[Midas Gordon-Farleigh @MidasGF]

Thank you @StornowayBand for reforming and doing another tour. My wife and and have loved your music since your first album but never seen you live. Great to finally see you live in Bristol last night – and we were blown away by how great you are live 🐦❤️

Just read an article from The Guardian, and it brought to mind arguments by @SayersMark: Society has successfully deconstructed everything, but isn't actually happy with our new, boundary-less world. Social media must be regulated! Yes, but in line with whose vision?

@dangrabham @ThreeUK 😲 So surprised by this. People have spent significant amounts of time at home ... do they not have WiFi?! Can't help but feel that a lot of this is poor data management. Not that it's necessarily a problem ... if people's contracts permit it, there's no issue!

Most British people seem to take it on faith that to have faith is stupid. That must change, says Greg Sheridan
