Same here. Some of the Breakfast listeners who still post mainly on Twitter have accounts there but not all of them are enthusiastic. I’m vacillating.

I think Petroc’s stopped posting here. They’re all moving to Insta (I haven’t).

Thank you so much for playing that superb @girtoncollege.bsky.social Choir’s Ingegneri recording. A really good start to the day! Lovely programme altogether.

Good morning, Hannah and Radio 3 Breakfasters. Ingegneri would be good, if you can find some. We’re leading a woodland walk this morning, followed by a pub lunch.

Good morning, Tom and Breakfasters. Up just before the Woodlark today, though late arriving over here. Week’s still busy, (mostly good) so enjoying the early morning calm and music. Andras Schiff was wonderful.

Wednesday's Breakfast on BBCRadio3 is live. Andras Schiff in Bach Before 7, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, looking back at Jess Gillam's brilliant debut album ... and ... Scooby Doo. Sort of. Come join us! 6.30-9.30

Good morning, Tom and Breakfasters. Overslept so missed the sedge warbler but the nightjar was great - and the music’s not bad either! We hope to do our favourite walk this morning.

Good morning to Hannah French and @BBCRadio3 Breakfasters. Joyous Bach certainly blew away the cobwebs. Dry here for now but showers scheduled and still very windy. As for music, Hildegard and Ingegneri, please!

This is just brilliant. A cookbook by one of the last century's top piano duos who became celebrity chefs! Want to know a recipe for turnip and orange? Cold mushroom soup? All will be revealed in Breakfast on bbcradio3. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³πŸŽΆ And it was a Siberian Rubythroat for the dawn chorus

Belated Good Morning, Tom and Breakfasters. Have been listening, honest, just not had a chance to post. Good choices this morning. As for places, we’re just back from Exmouth, also lovely.

Good morning to @tommckinney.bsky.social and Radio 3 Breakfasters. Hope you’ve recovered from Saturday’s brilliant #TrainTracks, Tom. Schubert Piano Trio, and Satie brought calm before a busy week ahead, thanks.

Radio 3’s #TrainTracks day is off to a good start, as @petroc.bsky.social sets off on board The Highland Chieftain from Inverness to King’s Cross, meeting other presenters along the way. Lots of music and information ahead!

Good morning, Tom and Breakfasters. Quite a lot of tugging at the heart strings today - Brass Band playing Song to the Moon, Bach’s St John Passion, Andreas Scholl, Cesar Franck and Bailero. Thanks.

Good morning to @tommckinney.bsky.social and Radio 3 Breakfasters. Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture an appropriate reminder of the start of the new academic year at schools, colleges and universities.

We were at that Prom! Also, it reminds me of Venice (featured in the film Death in Venice), and my father used to play the Adagietto on the organ. Very special altogether.

Good morning, Tom and Breakfasters. Late posting over here but hope not too late to wish Nancy a Very Happy Birthday. Mahler 5 today’s highlight so far, thank you.
