After a performance of a piece of mine at a southbank concert several years ago, Robin Holloway said to me "Your music...it's... not for me...it's not for me...I need...something more substantial..." Needless to say, I had not sought his opinion.

Yet another nail in the coffin for @bandcamp.com sellers and others in the UK and elsewhere from next week, as France introduces a €2 Tax on every parcel, ahead of the forthcoming EU wide €3 fixed customs duty. Thanks Brexit again, we love you so much!

Saturnine

RIP Jonathan Powell - a great pianist, highly original composer and Russian music specialist. What a tragic loss. We came up together, and both from the West Midlands. I have a fond memory of a Black Country real ale pub crawl with him in c.1997.

Here’s his β€˜Saturnine’ for ensemble:

Tory MP criticised after demanding legally settled families be deported Katie Lam said move would make UK β€˜culturally coherent’ and that a large number of people β€˜need to go home’

The @libdems.org.uk and I have written to the Conservative leader urging her to condemn the comments by one of her MPs who said large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly β€œculturally coherent”.

If this isn’t Nazism, I don’t know what Nazism is. (For anyone lucky enough not to know, this person was a Conservative, then UKIP MP.)
