Two copies of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.21 : Eine Kleine Nachtmusik on the Classics For Pleasure label. The cover features a photography of a sunset viewed through silhouettes of arcing grass stalks with full ears of seed.

Sorting through my late Aunt’s classical LP collection, some of which I’ve had here & some of which until yesterday had been in my Dad’s garage, since clearing her house (my Dad’s childhood home) a decade or so ago. Pleased to see she was rocking doubles of Night Music. #pianoconcerto21

What if the BBC was owned by the people who fund it?

We’re proposing a member-owned BBC where licence fee payers become members with a real voice in how it's run.

Independent. Accountable. Owned by the public.

Support the idea before the consultation closes today 👇

That’s the ticket. Thoughts of a guest spot with Elaine Page on Radio 2 have helped me banish many a full sweat 3am night terror in the last two decades.

Not a great nights sleep maybe, but with the beginnings of a hit West End musical on your hands that seems like a fair trade.
A middle, an end and a big dance number and it’s hello front page of The Stage!

1 Like = 1 Word From Our Soon To Be Revealed 8th Issue

just think if around 60,000 of you like this post you basically get a mag for free (though you will have to rearrange the words into the correct order (which if you can do please email me as I can never seem to manage it & you can have a job))

Looks good! We have a couple of Simon Tyler books - Bugs, and Adventures In Space, both with similarly pleasing illustrations. I don’t know him, but my dad used to do design work for his dad, so I might be in with a shot of blagging a signed copy :)

Out of 27 volunteers we had 3 cancel and 20 just not show up, so I’m getting stuck in with four of em.

If you are near Exmoor / Barnstable and can be here any time today even for a few hours, please please come. Park on the gravel and follow the track opposite the gate.

Casting call! Looking for a woman voice actor, 50+ who is versatile and a vocal chameleon / can play many different bit parts in an audio comedy.

We’re recording in London on 13th & 14th April. This is a paid opportunity. Actor does not need to be autistic!
