So proud of my wee bass students!! Such a joy to teach - even if I have to have Baby shark going round in my head 😂
On Sunday, our youngest bass players in our Early Years Bassketeers group treated us to "Baby Shark" as well as each playing solos. Well done all of you for working so hard this term! 🦈 'Baby shark do do do do do...' 🎼

There is literally no need at all for Labour to deliver a painful budget in October. There is a massive capacity to increase taxes on wealth. If Labour wanted to borrow they could. And there are people who want good work.

Nothing is going to drive MAGA crazier than Walz being married to a normal Midwestern white lady while Trump and Vance are married to people they want to deport

Yet they just jailed Roger Hallam from Just Stop Oil for FIVE years for protesting on the M25. Five years. When it comes to inanimate non sentient things that matter more than women, motorways can now be added to the list, alongside statues.

Can we PLEASE stop pretending Farage and Reform are somehow new? Can we PLEASE not think today’s result is some unprecedented result for them - it’s broadly the same result they got in 2015. Same leader, same voters, just a different colour badge. 3/5

Wow! Fabulous evening - orchestra sounded brilliant & the soloists were fantastic. I was so proud of my eldest playing Koussevitsky bass concerto - he nailed it! 🥰
Congratulations to our soloists Aiden, Callum and Rowan this evening who played so well in the Concerto Concert! Thanks to the amazing Orchestra and to Robert Baxter, conductor, who did a fantastic job with all the players! @DouglasAcad @EDCouncil

The cost of this absurd piece of electoral desperation is £2.5 billion per annum. So when Sunak insisted he couldn’t possibly afford the £2 billion per annum needed to increase junior doctors’ pay, he was - again - lying.

This is awful news. All those students! 💔
The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama told its staff today that it is axeing its junior department at the end of this term. Almost 200 children study there on saturdays. That will all stop in July. This is not rich kids playing expensive instruments. One of them texted...
