I had the most brilliant, immersive time last week recording Britten, Imogen Holst and Daniel Kidane with @NickPritch89, ably captured by dream time @Ben_Sheen and #DaveRowell. Look out for us on @SignumRecords this autumn!

If this were the UK, all that would have been done is a 100k page planning application (not yet decided, only just filled) (On a serious note someone should look at the french legal framework for large infrastructure projects, much better than UK one)

Candidate Statements, University of Oxford The @UniofOxford seems to have embraced student politics for the election of their new Chancellor. I'm sure it will all work out in the end, but some of the 35 candidates really aren't short-list material! https://t.co/KBRemKN0eQ
