Greatly saddened to hear of the death of the opera critic Claire Seymour, a valued contributor to our pages and many other publications, and an associate lecturer in music and English literature at the Open University.

Ooooh I so got hacked. Sorry anyone who got anything they shouldn’t have from me. Hopefully all sorted now.

Working on a challenging piece tonight. Calece’s op.45. The main challenge is that I need 24 frets on my mandolin but I only have 23. Plus the three octave chromatic scale is a bit of a killer.

Extremely niche humour incoming… [spotted back stage at the rfh last night] if you know you know..

So I’m back up and running whoop. I’m currently trying to read academic papers on my kindle about ethnomusicology but have lit a fire and have now become very sleepy.

[Paul Howden @musicscribbler]

It looks like my twitter account might have been hacked. Sorting it today so should be back up and running tomorrow.

Just had one of those music epiphany moments whilst messing with major modes on the guitar. turning the complicated into complete understanding. I must warn you I may forget this in the next 12 hours as I’m old and will need to sleep soon. Or as I like to call it Ctrl Alt Delete.

Oh my. I got this for 50p in a charity shop in Scotland. It’s 60 years old and amazing. Ignore the cover it’s a little scary.

So sad to hear about Harry Gration. An excellent broadcaster and an icon in Yorkshire. My thoughts are with all his family and friends.

[BBC Yorkshire @BBCLookNorth]

Our much loved friend and colleague Harry Gration died suddenly today. We are absolutely heartbroken to give you this news.

Tonight our hearts go out to Harry's wife Helen, their children and all of Harry's family and friends.
