Consider yourself invited to our next one - I think it’s Mahler in the sports hall!

Haha it’s not terribly informative (I’m not big on all this media stuff) but just so proud of my (state) school doing Beethoven’s 9th as our 1st ever big concert (and some cool guests!)

A new paid up follower to @backlisted.bsky.social (though longer time listener) - I enjoyed hearing my name read out today, thankyou Andy. Felt I had to comment as my first post on this site tonight was about a wonderful evening where we were joined in the audience by the subject of your bio pic!

A wonderful evening at Chiswick School - so proud of everyone
