Thank you, Steve and Ciaran. My favourite Christmas Carol, a beautiful setting, and sensitive playing by two talented people. Best wishes to you both, and thanks for your work throughout the year.

Merry Christmas Steve Rosenberg. Thank you for your music (and the excellent reporting)! I wish you and your family a wonderful day infused with Christmas yumminess. 🎄🍸🥂

bbcstever.bsky.social•156 days ago

Thanks very much indeed Jo. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

guernseyaudrey.bsky.social•156 days ago

Your musical interludes are a breath of fresh air between reports of some of the absurdities of life. Sweet Dream my favourite. Thank you. Merry Christmas!

That’s beautiful ❤️

martinisleeper.bsky.social•156 days ago

That was a lovely moment of calm in all the rush and bustle this morning. Finished loading the car ready to 'take Christmas' to my daughters. Gave me a quiet moment to myself. Thankyou. Merry Christmas.

Next time try some Russian beat boxing

sspanther.bsky.social•156 days ago

Brought a tear to my eye this morning...very beautifully played! ❤️

agendaforreform.bsky.social•156 days ago

Fantastic, a rather excellent sideline

lizhanson.bsky.social•156 days ago

Caught it on the News channel. Much the best thing there today. Loved it!

treboroslive.bsky.social•156 days ago

Were you playing in remote locations? I see an ear piece in your ear presumably providing a mix minus. If you were remote, do you know what software/platform was used to provide instantaneous audio?

hughmccann.bsky.social•156 days ago

Happy Christmas Steve and Ciaran - a lovely rendition of a Christmas classic 🎄🎻🎹💚

eileenallen.bsky.social•156 days ago

joannab24.bsky.social•156 days ago

Thank you for a moment of calm in a mad world. In the bleak midwinter brings so many memories ( happy & sad). I know it's Christmas when I hear that😊

gfazh.bsky.social•156 days ago

70 missiles and 100 drones. Moscow correspondent playing piano. That’s about right.

keithran.bsky.social•156 days ago

Loved hearing that on TV today. BBC piano and Channel 4 cello - simply beautiful

Biden has a shameful record from Afganistan to Ukraine to Gaza, Lebanon, Syria ... Can Trump really be a greater disaster for the world? Certainly he will be for Americans but maybe, just maybe, not for the world .. 🤞

storystick.bsky.social•155 days ago

So you want American troops in Afghanistan .You want more weapons in Ukraine when they won't even draft 18year olds. You want Syria still under Assad. The Jews with our bombs just freed them...soon Iran and Lebanon too.
Biden did this

This was a lovely surprise last night at the end of C4News, who knew @c4ciaran.bsky.social was so talented.

(Not diminishing your talent but I already knew about that!)

bbcstever.bsky.social•156 days ago

Ciaran is a brilliant cellist. I enjoy our remote musical collaborations.
