@gmmds She is. In fact, in another coincidence she is playing at Steinway Hall next week. Just finishing her performer’s Masters, here’s her website https://t.co/dPNWXWDXrm

@gmmds He’s done really well! Lots of parallels in their careers as well, she won the RNCM concerto prize and did Goldberg at the same age.

@gmmds Madeleine remembers him from KIPC, he is a few years younger but she thought he was very talented. Looks like she was right!

[Madeleine Brown @madeleinepiano]

Excited to be coming down to London to perform next week! ✨

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

@OakFurnitureCo Ok, not you then? Will take it up elsewhere, sorry

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

Well @OakFurnitureCo , your furniture is great but your service department isn’t. Far from it

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

@OakFurnitureCo Hi @OakFurnitureCo , the company to which you outsource repairs to faulty goods, Emmiera Group, has failed to show up for a repair three times this week. On Monday, the engineer called in ill half way through his round, on Thursday a different engineer went to the wrong house 1/2

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

@OakFurnitureCo Hi @OakFurnitureCo Yes you have, please check your records from last Thursday afternoon. We gave you these details on that call. Nothing to do with the store obviously

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

@OakFurnitureCo 2/2 and didn’t bother to call. I called yesterday to find out what had happened and rearranged for today, but the appointment wasn’t recorded correctly and he didn’t show up again. No excuses, no talk about recompense, lots of apology. I’ll think twice before using you next time

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

Forget online and phone, just go to a store. Jamie at Bluewater did in 11 minutes what all the online folk failed to do in 9 days. #O2

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

The worst customer service of all time. Congratulations #O2

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

@JonathanLevitt7 @GMPeteWells Well done!

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

@eternalhopeoaks @pscooksey No. Don’t think he was a FM

[The Beaufort Singers @BeaufortSingers]

@nedgia Sent just now

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

So @nedgia sends me an e-mail asking me to switch supplier as they haven’t been able to do the safety check, due every 5 years. They give me a number to call, but because they don’t have my NIE they refuse to talk to me. I have the address, the CUPS, my contract number, etc

[Simon Brown @SimonB4a]

Oh yes, nearly forgot. Safety checks were carried out in August 2020 and January 2023. See my earlier tweet.

[The Beaufort Singers @BeaufortSingers]

Young duo @KMGsoprano and @madeleinepiano take the middle slot in the Boxgrove Choral Festival 2023.

Their programme of Lieder by Richard Strauss culminates in his Four Last Songs, famed for their expressive power and sublime beauty.

Tickets are available now!
