I visited
First day back at Angel Studios, this lovely picture of the late, great and lovely Steve Price.
The best bedside manner of any engineer. Calm, witty, gentle and so, SO good.
Much missed.

Unbelievable! Allowing Bristol Airport to more than double its capacity is outrageous & totally incompatible with tackling the #climateemergency. The government has ridden roughshod over local democracy & trashed any pretence that they’re serious about a green transition
BREAKING:
Expansion of Bristol Airport has been given the go-ahead by Government planning inspectors, who have allowed the airport's appeal against North Somerset council's refusal of planning permission.
I’m in Manchester today to speak to members of the Conservative Party about why music is so significant to our national life, and how they can legislate and reform to make British Music more resilient, fair and sustainable for everyone.
#BrokenRecord
9 days recording at the always amazing Air studios. Every time you go there it feels like your coming back home. All topped with an hilarious hour of recording 4 trumpet kazoos! @ AIR Studios https://instagram.com/p/CT5AXLDtolo/?utm_medium=twitter…
on why #BrokenRecord was born & how to #FixStreaming & Music’s Future for all.
C’mon Music Biz. We can work in harmony, its what Music’s about.
This pandemic sucks. What it has done to my profession breaks my heart. I haven’t played in orchestra for so long. Watching this guy learn the horn & play like this after playing for one yr has been a delight in an otherwise heartbreaking time. (Outtake in thread is v.g.😂)

Not that you need me to point this out but if you have a burning desire to be creative and to work in the arts, do NOT rethink, reskill or reboot. Just keep fucking going.
400 freelancers gathered today in parliament square, to state their case. (Safely). Their discipline & the sound created brought tears. They are viable & visible and desperate to safely get back to work! work with them #freelancers#letmusiclive
400 viable musicians playing 90 seconds of Mars from The Planets, using 20% of the music to illustrate the paltry support they’re getting during #COVID19. #LetMusicLive. Recognise their contribution to this country’s economy. Support them.
