@italyheaven Yes - it was an amazing evening with a superb cast and insightful acting. Special bouquet for (masterful) maestro Renato Balsadonna. @morley_erin@skbaritoneinfo

The BBC has got itself into a totally humiliating mess. But it was pushed there by a nasty, paranoid, dishonest and failing govt whose ministers routinely lie to us and abuse their power and whose policies don’t stand up to scrutiny. They’re the rot at the heart of this fuck-up.
Congratulations to all the brilliant competitors in this evening's #TrinityMusicianofTheYear#Recital Class. Particular Congratulations to Dominic, Ed and Freddie who progress to the #Concerto Final and thanks to @RBalsadonna for the excellent adjudication.
