Such a lovely day with these guys. Loads of new material sounding wicked and making my head spin. Really looking forward to sharing it on Thursday @GoldsmithsUoL

Really looking forward to working on some new material with the lovely @let_spin lot next week.
We’ll be sharing this informally on Thursday @GoldsmithsMusic so come down! Free entry. DM me for more details. X
@FINLAYPANTER @ruthgoller
What the students write here isn’t hyperbole. These two colleagues worked tirelessly for years to build jazz @GoldsmithsUoL into something remarkable & it would be entirely unworkable without them.
These are just 2 of 97 redundancies

Goldsmiths is place of extraordinary creative&critical thought. Many colleagues studied with, taught at, or collaborate with the brilliant Goldsmiths scholars&students. The university is so much more than its current management tries to make it; we all stand to lose #NotADoneDeal
Moss Freed retweeted
Goldsmiths management is threatening to carry out the most severe cuts of any British university to date - 130 lecturers are facing redundandy. But we are resisting! Students have occupied Deptford Town Hall! #NotADoneDeal @GoldsmithsUoL @GoldsmithsUCU

Goldsmiths is seriously under threat, as are various other arts and humanities institutions. Our SMT is proposing 133 academic redundancies. Join the fight to resist - please retweet.

The financial mismanagement and incompetence of SMT @GoldsmithsUoL is staggering - they have literally wasted millions and then claim it is staff who are the problem and need to be sacked. But @GoldsmithsUCU staff and students are fighting - for Goldsmiths, and HE #NotADoneDeal
Moss Freed retweeted
The compulsory redundancies imposed upon us by @GoldsmithsUoL do not have a financial basis and reveal an ideological attack on free thinking at university. With the union, @GoldsmithsUCU we defend the right of all colleagues to secure jobs. #NotADoneDeal

I wrote my 1st book on the MA Creative Writing @GoldsmithsUoL and was thrilled to take a job teaching that same MA this January. Now it's June & I'm at risk of redundancy. Love to see staff & students stand together to save this centre of radical & creative thinking.#NotaDoneDeal

📢CALL TO ACTION:
Senior management @GoldsmithsUoL are counting on our exhaustion.
They want us to think these redundancies are a forgone conclusion.
But we know it’s #NotADoneDeal!
Use the hashtag #NotADoneDeal to let them know that you will help us fight until the end!💪
Moss Freed retweeted
There is NO convincing financial justification for proposed redundancies @GoldsmithsUoL
In fact new HESA data shows it's doing well given the sector hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis…
Time to stop giving millions to private consultancies & reverse the cuts!

I learned so much as an author & activist on the #CreativeWriting MA @GoldsmithsEng ✍️10 yrs & 2 published novels later, I teach on that same MA course. Horrified that @GoldsmithsUoL now aims to axe 133 jobs. The arts & humanities will suffer. This must be stopped #NotaDoneDeal
Moss Freed retweeted
A university that spends over £1m on private consultants seeking advice on how to sack staff it says it can't afford really needs to look at itself. Meanwhile amazing to see students & academics standing with @GoldsmithsUCU to fight for jobs. It's #notadonedeal @GoldsmithsUoL
Moss Freed retweeted
#NotADoneDeal Goldsmiths College is fighting against savage redundancies which will paralyse its future as a ground- breaking, trailblazing centre for Higher Education.

Devastating cuts are being proposed at @goldsmithsuol. Please: don't be complicit in this government's attack on arts & humanities - we need them more than ever. #notadonedeal @goldsmithsucu thebritishacademy.ac.uk/news…
I am one of *at least* 133 academics in scope for redundancy @GoldsmithsUoL. We need to fight for this wonderful institution and for Arts & Humanities education & research. Council, you can stop this, it’s #NotADoneDeal @GoldsmithsUCU

Truly one of my life’s great joys getting to arrange this awesome music for these awesome people.
I love them all madly.
And HUGE thanks to @dudleyevans and @cheltfestivals for having us.

This was a brilliant night @vortexjazz with the @RoyalAcadMusic improvisers’ ensemble. Such a pleasure to work with these incredible musicians & bring contrasting perspectives together. 🙏 @MattLmuso for letting us get creative with his piece & @j4jessicawalker for organising 🎶
Bowled over by the incredible performance of Rituals last night by the @RoyalAcadMusic students led by the mighty @mossfreed & Chris Williams at @vortexjazz! Fantastic musicianship, open ears & fresh ideas!!!! Such a great initiative led by @j4jessicawalker for the RAM students.
