Privileged to have been playing the @demontforthall organ for the @uniofleicester grads this week. Always a pleasure!
The organ is a real jewel for the city. It also makes an incredible backdrop to this photo (c) @uniofleicester of Lord Vallance who received an honorary degree.
Lovely to pop into a chair-free nave @York_Minster today on the way home from Northumberland. A brief, but enjoyable visit to a favourite place.

“Brexit” did not save lives through the covid vaccine roll out . Let’s get this totally clear- we could develop and buy the vaccine within the EU.
"He wants the party to come to him and say 'Boris, we’re terribly sorry, please come and stand for the leadership.'”
The News Agents on Boris being "vintage himself" on @LBC with Nick Ferrari, where he claimed Brexit saved lives.

It’s a pleasure to be Organist & Director of Music with the lovely and gracious folk of @ASwHTchurch
A privilege to provide live music on the @demontforthall organ alongside the University Brass Ensemble for the degree ceremonies.
Always a special week and esp so when there are personal connections - lovely to see Dr Bridget Towle further honoured by @uniofleicester
An amazing 247 colleagues supported graduations @uniofleicester this week, which saw more than 4,000 students, of 107 different nationalities, graduate. The youngest to graduate was aged 20, and the eldest 79. Congratulations #LeicesterGrad 👏🎉

Nigel Farage received 12% of TV/press coverage in the election. @TheGreenParty (with 4 seats to Reform’s 5) didn’t even make top 20. Great research from @lboroCRCC shows Greens & smaller parties were especially marginalised by a press mesmerised by Farage’s anti-migrant noise

“Our whole campaign was designed to lose so we could put Labour back in and they could carry the can for the collapse of the British economy”
The New Statesman is still relatable because it expertly illustrated a broken political system in which history constantly repeats itself
Tomorrow!
