@GeorgeMonbiot Interesting take. Your use of ‘oligarch’ (with all its pernicious overtones) is unfair because at least Rishi has earned his wealth legitimately. I seem to remember from brasenose that you weren’t exactly shy in displaying your privilege (striped blazer and boater 8s week 1984),

@laurencejohn97 hello Laurence … I’ve been trying to locate that charming piece of party you played on Thursday evening. What was it? Sorry to ask again

[warwick cole @warwickcole]

@nickowentv songs of brays! Ha! Keep those puns coming. Fortunately I woke up from my snooze in front of the telly just in time to hear your humour. Made it all worthwhile. Thanks Nick

Looks like there will be more coming...

@nerineskinner It seems someone has nicked your line about ‘deliver, deliver, and deliver …ooo’ … I know! here’s hoping that you’ll keep us entertained for the next couple of years. Plenty of material there! Thanks for your efforts so far. We will need someone like you to help us through.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg nice to see you yesterday. Reckon you might need a haircut! And btw still waiting for those Brexit opportunities to kick in

Mind you @AlexChalkChelt @neilcmc seems to have a handle on things ... this from the local gents'

[warwick cole @warwickcole]

Bill from @parcelforce. My mistake: I ordered car parts from Germany (unavailable in the UK) and the cost is 30% extra. Benefits of Brexit? apart from collecting passport stamps, not sure yet. @AlexChalkChelt if I vote for you I get Boris, the architect of Brexit. Any thoughts?

@Kateviola Oh, so that what was going on as I drove past on my way to a rather unpleasant encounter with @ABRSM stewards. I've calmed down now, but what was the other music exam board you recommended? #neveragainABRSM

[warwick cole @warwickcole]

@ABRSM ... just been treated like a primary school child by the Covid police while my pupils take their exams. I’m never ever going to allow them to go through that again. You can catch it in the supermarket or down the pub but not with the ABRSM. Vaccines? Arrivederci @abrsm

Did I miss something, or is this the only public record to the towering cultural icon of the C14 that was and is Machaut? The city of Reims seems to have missed a trick ... anyway, the lovely virelais Douce Dame was sung in Machaut street in his honour by a recent visitor

20 years on and I’ve begun to realise why no one has bothered to read my Ph D thesis. What was I on? Top marks to my examiners who were expected to wade through this stuff. And of course to innocent friends and family who proof read it. What was the point? I’m not quite sure ...

[warwick cole @warwickcole]

@lucykellaway interesting to to hear you Radio 4. Are you still teaching now? Can’t seem to find out. Top marks if you are! I’ve done 36 years and am quite worn out by it.

@simonbdc Ta! Will do ... it feels like a lonely vocation sometimes!

Just managed to order a copy of Fritz Hennenberg’s seminal Das Kantatenschaffen von G H Stölzel from German Amazon (Copies are like hens’ teeth). Slightly dismayed to learn that it is 9,019,230 on the bestseller list. Some way to go in popularising Stölzel. Onward and upward ...

[warwick cole @warwickcole]

But in other news, here’s a performance of his earliest surviving canata first performed @friedenstein on Dec 1, 1720. Thanks to all colleagues performing including @JamesTenorGilch, @CheltCollMusic, @hannahmdavey, @musicstpeters https://t.co/siHNMfM8d2 via @YouTube

@JPG_Morgan @cheltviolins @YouTube Ta! Hope you like the latest offering. Alas, not too many parts for flutes, though next time round we'll make sure we do one of the Estomihi cantatas. Lush flute writing!
