Back in the Sampson Orchestra saddle and it feel pretty darn good. I’ve been playing with these extraordinary musicians since 1990 and being away from them fit the last 18 months has probably been the hardest lockdown pill to swallow. Gig next Saturday - 2nd Oct West Rd 7.30pm

Priti Patel misleads House of Commons by telling MPs that 2.8 million EU nationals have already "been granted their settled status."
Home Office stats show 1.1 million of them have only been given temporary leave to stay in UK (pre-settled status) not permanent settled status.

A Senior Rabbi was attacked in London yesterday. Corbyn phoned Rabbi Gluck to find out what happened and to empathise with the community.

Rabbi Gluck said: “We deeply appreciate his concern. He sounded extremely genuine. He was the only party leader who called."

What a fascinating @bbcproms tonight with Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique played from memory and staged imaginatively. Not sure we could stand and play a whole symphony from memory but we will be playing an excellent programme of music at our concert on 5 October @WestRoadCH
