Really enjoying Satie day on @BBCRadio3 with Tom Service. One of my favourite composers and have been playing his piano pieces since I was a child. We visited his home in Montmartre a few months ago, magical.
Thank you @tom_mckinney and @BBCRadio3 for the wonderful Sibelius, and on my birthday too. Off for a spot of birding in Epping Forest later. A perfect day.
All the very best @tom_mckinney @BBCRadio3 Breakfast. Looking forward to listening. I remember when Sean and @PetrocTrelawny first presented. And you’re a birder too, good man.
UPDATE: Changes to our National Portfolio
Today we've shared our National Council's decision to no longer launch our next Investment Process in April. Instead, we are recommending to Government that our current National Portfolio extends to 31 March 2028.
We’re back with our March edition of FAC Insights!
This month we hear from Suzanne Bull MBE, founder and CEO of Attitude is Everything, as she steps down after 25 years. We’re delighted to host Suzanne as she reflects on her journey.

We beg to differ @PetrocTrelawny - there are two avid @BBCRadio3 listeners in this house, both professional musicians, who love ham and pineapple on their pizza.

Morning @PetrocTrelawny - I missed the credit for the Irish singer performing Winterreise song. I need to get this recording. Can you or your producer @BBCRadio3 let me know? It really was stunning, especially in the shower. Much appreciated.
