Not in West Hull anyway

Especially in the last movement (bit of an afterthought to finish the symphony off?) Love the opening and slow movements though. Very difficult to play- the notes just keep coming!

Don’t think I’ve ever had so many elastic bands on my wrist. My Mum always warned me about cutting off your circulation and to this day I still get a bit worried that my hand might drop off. Still, all in a good cause.

My first match was around 1970. Hull FC vFeatherstone Rovers at the Boulevard under floodlights (with my Dad). Would love to know the exact date/year - any idea where I could track it down.

Loved the compilations. Mozart Opera highlights brilliant in the car.

This is my Mum who started her nursing career in 1948. Now she’s not getting the support she deserves.

Needless to say it’s going to be a long winter. Don’t get sick.

If it goes into C minor you should probably worry

Too many to list them all. Often a piece connects to an event or time in your life. If I had to pick one for my desert island it would be Deep River from Child of Our Time, the moment the solo soprano sings…
