Today's bread Few things better than fresh bread in the morning

Longest run ever... How people do full marathons is beyond me!

The Vice Chancellor's comments on BBC Radio 4 yesterday morning about the 'competition' between RWCMD and CU School of Music were ill-informed and simply wrong. The facilities, methodologies, learners, outcomes, opportunities and staff are different. That's okay. But they are NOT interchangeable.

Wednesday's bread

Obligatory snow picture ❄️❄️❄️

And here we have it, my TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2024! There were some last minute cuts and albums that just didn't make it, but these were the projects that I kept going back to all year. Give them a listen, you might enjoy them! www.instagram.com/reel/DENVtkR...

Merry Christmas Eve! As the year draws to a close, here are some songs that have been on repeat for me in 2024. This is just my opinion and I really struggled to narrow it down even to 11... They are, in no particular order: Good Luck Babe - Chappel Roan open.spotify.com/track/0WbMK4...

Fudge time!!

A travesty... A TRAVESTY I TELLS YA! Girls5Eva was a breath of fresh air, a musical comedy that didn't seem embarrassed to be a musical. Netflix did it so dirty by doing essentially no promotion for it when they took it on... And now one of the best comedies is done 😭

Ooooo bread.... Groundbreaking

The tree is up!!

Spotify Wrapped is really coming up with new and creative ways to call me gay... 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It's December... You know what time it is....

Doing some PhD colour coding/diagram making/colouring in

Safe to say today's loaf is looking stunning

I want all young composers to know that rejection is the norm. I reckon 85% of my ideas never come to fruition because I can’t engage an orchestra, soloist, festival, commissioner, funding body etc. It’s exhausting, but keep going. Don’t give up! It’s their loss, not yours!

Is there anything better on a freezing morning than the smell of fresh bread?

A pre-weekend weekend in York Went to Jorvik, the Railway Museum, wandered round the gorgeous city, and went on a carousel. All in all, a fab time Not pictured: an excellent pie and many cocktails

We met Paddington! Totally star struck
