One of the best concerts I’ve ever, ever experienced.
A beautiful programme outstandingly performed by @TenebraeChoir in the magnificent setting of Ely Cathedral.
Thank you to Nigel for taking on my new edition of Spem! Here’s a snippet of the rehearsal.

Farewell, Andrew and Larry. @BBCSingers legends. We all owe you both for being such brilliant colleagues.

[Stephen Jeffes @stozmcnoz]

These two absolute legends are leaving the @BBCSingers today. @amurgatroyd56 and Larry Charlesworth. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you amazing gentlemen. Love always.

After a sensational concert with JAGS at Southwark Cathedral last week, we’re overjoyed to finish our term with a Community Carols event supported by James Allen Community Orchestra #jaco
We raised over £200 for charity.

@mancman7 @BorisJohnson I couldn’t find Macron’s twitter account! Well spotted!

[Peter Gritton @peter_gritton]

Dear Boris, @BorisJohnson
Today I came across this touching memorial to French fishermen who lost their lives off the Cornish coast. Please do what you can to resolve the fishing crisis so that all fishermen can continue to go about their livelihoods. Thank you 🙏
