  1. Back in Brum for a few days. Looking forwards to recording 'cello bits for @edwatkinsmusic 's soundtrack to @RochdalePioneer tomorrow!
  2. Just put plain gut strings on my 'cello. It's time to party like it's 1699.
  3. I think I might rewrite my major project report in the style of one of those crime novels that you always see advertised in train stations.
  4. Great concert on Sat, followed by a few days teaching. To the warm climes of Herts tomorrow, where I'll hopefully finish this opera!
  5. Doing final score preparations for tomorrow's Oxjam concert! Bruch and Mozart, with soloist Emily Mowbray. 7:30, Vandyke Upper School.
  6. After a four month long hiatus, I'm going to try and use this thing on a semi-regular basis. Let's see how long I last this time...
  7. I'm about to embark on a performance of Faure's requiem with the worst conductor ever. I wish it was a requiem for her...
  8. On my way back from teaching to record with the inimitable @PeteYelding. Which stratospherically high notes has he written for me today?
  9. Orchestrating some Mozart Lieder, in the style of Mozart. Like many things in life, you don't miss valved horns until they're gone.
  10. An interesting, if sometimes inaccurate (IAN Betteridge won last year apparently), review of the Philip Bates prize. seenandheard-international.com/2011/11/09/tom…
  11. I've finally caved in, and got a Twitter account. Prepare yourselves, gentle folk of the internet.
